they are aluminum anodized lugs. i have a special socket with an aluminum insert, so it will prevent any sort of chipping or scratching.

Gold wheels look good with the blue

Wheel nuts are available from Fueltank Autoparts. Phone Ed on 0432 889 887 (and tell him I sent you )

They have a website -- www.fueltank.com.au but it doesn't seem to be up at the moment

Thanks Timbo but coloured nuts aren't my go (hmm, could have expressed that better ) - was just curious. I'm fine with the wheel nuts that came with my Enkei's.

You all bag the gold wheels on the blue 8 thing, then Dan posts his pic and you rave about it! You're as bad as a pack of women.......

Ezzy, what brand is that second one? Love the deep dish!

You'll never be accused of subtlety Tim.

I like the Volk wheels on Dan's car but the colour combination is still not my taste - I just think it's rude to bag someone's car when they go to the trouble of modding it and posting pics of it, so I only commented on what I liked - the quality of the photography and the rims themselves.

IMHO, Dan's wheels would look much better in alloy but that's just my taste. Maybe he wants his wheels to stand out more - hence the coloured wheel nuts.

Diversity is what makes this car fun to play with. It is possible to respect the choices of others but ignore them when it comes to selecting your own mods.

If you like the gold with the blue go for it. We'll give you heaps about being a Sti wannabe but that's just because we like you.

Now excuse me while I find my handbag....

Went to a wheel shop last Thursday, a fairly large one in Canberra. They only had about 3 diff designs of 19s that would fit, and they were listed as SUV wheels! I don't think they'd be real light.

Yes, there's an Ozzy out in Fyshwick (out amongst all those "dubious" establishments). I'll have to go talk to them. No sign of a Tempe yet, which is a shame.

^^Not to mention small.

How about posting a pic that doesn't require a magnifying glass.

Yes, I'd be interested in seeing those a bit bigger. Instead of going 1/4 inch as they appear to be, I was thinking of 19s!

Hey, I don't mind those. Bit small perhaps, what size are they?

See, gold wheels can work with the blue!

i like them TT. looks like a staggered setup.... do you really want that?

just go in and ask them (nicely...) to put the interested ones next to your 8 and see....

ask for warranty if available....

Yes, those are staggered *sigh*
Looks great, but from what I've read I'm not interested in dong that.
Those ones are 19" Axis Hiros 9.5R 8.5F.
I see Tempe carry those, I really need those guys to come to Canberra! Wonder if they're a pricey wheel?
