Curious as to what lug and lock nuts everyones using? Genuine STI are very $$$, and I read a few bad things about mcgard locknuts stripping. gorilla guard lock nuts seem to look alright as they have a free spinning outter shell but only come in chrome, putting on a set of Advan RS soon so keen for peoples thoughts.
cheers,

Stick with steel.
Look up Rota wheels on ebay, they sell some. I have a set on my GT-R, done track days, no issues.
Had Rays nuts (probably fake), those aluminium nuts strips very easily and loosen as well.

I just grab the genuine USA Subaru ones by mail, about 60% cheaper than the Aus ones, McGuard made I think for Subaru US. Never had a problem with them on 2 cars now ( same set)...
