ok, its so important you get proper wheel nuts that are for the alloy you are putting on.

Most alloys have a 60 degree seating while most steel wheels are a much lower seating. The bolts in time will vibrate off and when you go round a corner ur wheel will go straight on.

Gimmie a shout, i can get ya bolts.

Also colin is spot on, get mcgard.
