Did the lug nuts come with your rota gravels? Or are they your original lug nuts. From what I know you don't get lug nuts when you purchase rims, but I could be mistaken.

If you want matching lug nuts and want ones that have a lock nut, the ones that cruisn posted in the group buy thread will be fine and you can get the colour you want. Even without a group buy they are a decent price.

I see. So what happened to your original lug nuts?

Either way just buy some McGard lug nuts!

Only thing to check is what sort of lug nuts the xxrs require, as far as I know there's two types, the flat-bottomed ones which are stock Subaru ones, and the other ones used on a lot of aftermarket wheels are what's called (I think) tuner or conical lug nuts, where the end is tapered and the wheel itself has an identical shape for it to fit into. Its like countersunk screws, that's the best way I can explain it, can't find a link as I'm on my phone. So just find out what the xxrs need and you'll be fine. Oh and make sure you have right pitch sizing if you order some, M12x1.25 is the right one from memory

Subaru has a 60 degree tapered seat which is pretty much aftermarket standard also ie RAYS, WORK, BBS, etc.

Id be very suprised id the XXR's were any different.

I may be anal and fit WORK nuts to match my new WORK's and you can buy the McGards.....

Black, all spline drive, no locking nuts. A spline drive is a lock nut anyway really..... Pretty much as new and unmarked.

$100 to your door.
