I wasnt so sure the white and silver would work until someone passed me on these pictures of a member on SSC

Nice one guys thanx :y:

The only reason I asked is when Ive heard people chnaging from OE Steelies say on Furio's to VTR/S rims Im sure people have mentioned having to buy different wheel bolts.

Maybe I got the wrong end of the stick

the lower spec models have a tapered wheelbolt rather than a flat one.
I would get a different set of bolts personally but you may be ok with flat ones

The flat ones should have a small taper halfway down the shank that acts the same as the bolts shown above, so they should be ok. That said, I went to a scrappy for some bolts for my steels, and the guy told me to put a quid in the charity tin for a set of steelie wheel bolts he had that many. Ended up taking them off 306s, Saxos and 106s, one off each wheel till I had a full set.
