[right][snapback]233222[/snapback][/right]I think this is the key statement ... if the steel wheel and the alloy wheel have the same type of taper where the nut meets the wheel (and they might not) then you could use the same nuts ... but if the steel wheel was different, then you'd have to use a different style nut ... I don't think it makes any difference though whether or not the nut is capped just as long as the nut is long enough to seat properly.
