I do for the street. Not those exact ones but ones that are spline drive. Same thing though. I change back to stock steels ones for the track though. Not because I don't think they will hold, but I'd be worried about them holding along with how hot the hub will get from the brakes.

Friend of mine uses red anodized ones just like those on his wrx, likes them just fine. The extended end makes them stick out a little so I think they look funny but very easy to finger-start when swapping the wheels.

got some purple ones on mine.

I got so sick of that lil cover on the lug nuts and not being able to finger start my nuts. And on top of that having to replace the caps. fak that.

So now I use these with a deep 19mm socket. Very happy.

some might argue about the seating. but I've never had a problem.

I run the MUTEKI RACING SR48 EXTENDED TUNER WHEEL LUGS LUG NUTS BLACK OPEN END and have zero issues and they seat perfect. they even have a matching lock set too.

Is the 60 degree seat correct? As long as that and the thread matches the stockers anything should work. Double check your trunk lug wrench just in case once you mount them.
