Default I need NUTS! HELP!

not that kind.

I just put on some Speedline Prodrive ST2's 17's on my 94 WRX, but the nuts are coming loose all the time and I've just been told by the garage that fitted my clutch that they need other nuts because the standard wrx ones aren't right.

Where can I go to get the right nuts?!?!

Please help!

The nuts on your WRX should have a thread size 12mmx1.25mm with a cone shape 60 degree seat, could you look at the stud holes in your new wheels to see if they are drilled in a cone shape?

Any Car shop that sells aftermarket alloy wheels should be able to supply you, At a push you could try HalFrauds

Buying the nuts isnt a problem if you know the seat type required l would have thought cone shape but with aftermarket alloys you never know.

I think the wheels do have a cone shape, but according to the garage, the nuts are going in to far into the hole, normally the corners of the nuts stop of the outside of the hole or something!

Just hoping someone has had the same trouble as me, cause the nuts come loose and the steering wheel starts juddering all over the show!

That explains the problem, seat type is 60 degrees but the nut is unique to your alloys similar to ghia style nuts.
