   nope.... some are taperd and have a flat faced washer. some just have a flat shaped washer and some like mine have normal \/ shaped holes in the alloys so i use std alloy wheel bolts. all depends on the age and model of saxo.

   the answer to that one mate is no there a different taper the ones on the steel wheels are a 45 degree taper and the ones on the vt have a taper and a flat washer if you use the standard steelies YOU WILL pull them through the alloys on cornering and the wheels will fall off and be fu**ed and so will your car.. not worth the risk get down the scrappies and get a set.
