If any one could help would be great, just got my wr1 but no locking wheel nut supplied with it! so i need to get them off and put new ones on.
Does any1 know what type locking nuts to get? and what is the size? thanks, Steve.

May be a visit to the dealers, I think they should be able to order the key for the nuts if they are the original Subaru ones. Probably cost you about a million quid tho. I like the tuner style locking nuts, where they have a socket to tighten them, so they don't break. Like my original scooby locking nuts did.

The locking nuts they used for the WR1 are meant to be a pretty good branded make and not easy to hack off so to speak.

Hasnt the previous owner got it?

I never buy a car and drive off without checking that one first!!

:shock:
