Just a quicky, my VTR alloys are coming tommorow, I currently have some super shexy steelies on the beast with standard bolts as far as i know, will they fit and be safe to use fitting the VTR alloys? Cheers

Cheers lads, so basically its hit and miss, if they are the wrong type, tapered or flat will they actually fit in or will i know theyre not the right ones?
