I need a replacement lug nut for the winter set of wheels (Sport Edition F7) on the Forester. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! happened this spring, and I kinda forgot about it until now. Anyway, I’m trying to identify what lug nut I need. The stud itself is an M12X1.25. The factory lug nuts are acorn style (0n the left). The winter set came with a set of lug nuts; I believe they are Bulge Acorn style?
Bonus points if anyone can point me to where I can get a replacement or two!
*Edit
These are actual OEM lug nuts:
For some reason,
I accidentally grabbed a Dorman aftermarket lug nut for the top picture.

These look pretty similar?

Normally I don’t recommend these, but if you’re only replacing one, well

So you’re saying you bust a nut?

An OEM Subaru lug nut is probably $1.25 at the dealer. The lock kit is probably $80 and then you have evil locks on your wheels.

Is there a dealer nearby? They should stock them, and it'll be cheaper than paying shipping for one.

If OEM lug nuts fit they are probably about $1.25 each at the dealer.

Unfortunately these aren’t the stock lug nuts, I have plenty of those laying around. These came with a set of wheels from Tire Rack. Really, I should have
contacted
them for info, but
I found what I need from Toni’s reply.

I’d have to look if they would fit. The wheels came with the bulge cone style lug nuts, so I would assume that they would be
required, but maybe not...

I recently replaced all the nuts on my Fiesta ST with McGard bulge ones from Amazon. They feel nice and have a good coating, and are single piece to avoid corrosion/expanding.
The only thing I’d recommend to keep in mind is maintaining the same socket size just in case you ever need to use the OEM tire wrench.

Last time I had any involvement with locking lug nuts, this was the result...

That’s what I’m going to go with. Toni found the appropriate set on Amazon, socket size and everything
. I keep a tire iron cross tool in the car at all times anyway, but it would bother me to no end having mismatched socket sizes!

That should do the trick! Thanks for the helpful reply!

Bring one of the other lug nuts into your local auto parts store. I imagine that they would stock a few different varieties and would be able to help you out.
