I think they're illegal for use on a car - not sure about a trailer.

My local parts store stock them, they're not that expensive but I can't think of the brand just off the top of my head.
Monster Subaru sold to a good home!! Still a Subaru owner. Will try stay in the Ausubaru loop. Sorry :cool:

I have them on my car and am of the belief that they aren't illegal IF there still remains 8 full turns of thread in the wheel nuts. Get them from Goodyear. They cost around $6 each and come in a few different thicknesses.

Pretty much any trailer place can get them for you.
