dude, i was kidding, I've never heard of "lightweight" lugnuts before.

They have em....

you can get Titainium fasteners and realated hardware for anything..

most light wieght lugh nuts are aluminium, Some are so thin they say to hand tighten only(YIKES not on my car)

The only Ti nuts i have found are for honda/accura dont know if they are the same size bolts... :-

Our cars carry the weight on the center of the rim, not the studs. The lug nuts are there to keep the wheel flat against the rotor face.

Chris, what are you trying to tell me?

light wieght lugs are bad for subaru's?

 

[chris.j]

Not at all, never used nor seen the benefit of lightweight lug nuts. I would lighten plenty of other things before the lugs

P.S. Im such a lazy bastard I had completely forgotten about shipping that service manual out. I am out of the office Wednesday and Thursday but will pop that in the mail finally on Friday. Sorry dude....

Get a set of spline drive nutz. They're secure.... donno about lightweight.

Personally, I like my stock nutz.
