If they prevent rusty nuts I might just have a tickle.

We have just ordered some forged steel tpi nuts and locks for 35 quid on ebay apparently are anti chip etc.and they give u a code to email to them so if you ever loose your lock key they can send you the correct replacement.we got black as wheels are in getting powder coated gloss black but do a few different colours. They look well stevie Lian

I hope yours fair better than mine Lian as I ordered a set when I got the car last October and they are a now a black/brown colour (it might just be surface stuff but I havent taken them off to have a look). Unless you keep your car off the road during a UK winter, they'll get hammered by the salt.
Seems that none of the options are perfect, steel will rust and ali will oxidise. I might be going for those STi nuts after all
Next year I'm going to have winter wheels and nuts that I dont really have to care about.
