    I have rota torques on my 05 wrx. I am looking for some nice lugnuts to use. The ones that I have now are junk. I bought some work lugnuts but they dont fit. Want should I buy?

    Do you have stock ones I can buy? :) I had a friend helping on a job and he gummed up 3 or so of them so I had to buy something to work for short term and theyre a different size than my stocks so I have to keep an extra socket in the car. :-\

    Party? WHERE!!?

    :rofl:

    a female friend of mine is having a birthday bash this weekend. We're supposed to be going to Opera on Saturday night.

    Other than that, I work on Barrett, let me know and I'll bring some with me (I have ~12 extra) and just give them to you.

    oh, and HOLY old thread from the dead!

    I will sell them to you for $20 but I live in Savannah, Ga. You will have to pay for shipping.

    Nice, Opera is fun. Let me know next time you go. I know someone there that can get me and a few friends free entry and VIP :).

    I guess PM me info about where you work and I could meet ya since I live about 3 minuts from Barrett. I think I need 3 or 4 lugs... I really appreciate it man!!!

    Yah, haha, I've been so busy with everything and haven't had a chance to check up on these. I wasn't driving the STi for about 3 months because it needed brakes... I finally got the brakes! :-D. Its like getting a new car! :)

    what rotor/pads did you get? Curious. On the lugnuts, if you don't feel like going OEM, McGards two piece are pretty nice and good value.

    I ended up just getting Advanced Autoparts rotors and pads this time. I got pretty much the best that they sell which seem to be pretty close to OEM in quality. On the rears I've got carbotech bobcats which I'll be replacing the fronts with as soon as I have funding... The total for front rotors and pads was around $400 from advanced which is a lot better than the $1100 from the dealer...

    Awesome, I'll PM to figure out when we I can meet ya...
