Alloy wheel bolts.

I suspect the talk of "Alloy" wheel bolts should read as:-

"Alloy Wheel" . . . bolts.

ie bolts for alloy wheels.

In that we're not talking about wheel bolts made of aluminium.

I would hope not, don't think I would trust aluminium bolts for that. There's probably a suitable grade out there somewhere, but what would be the point? And I'm none too sure that the material the wheels are made of would affect the type of bolts used, my first BMW came with aluminium wheels but had a steel spare, had no problems swapping between the two when I had a puncture one day.

Bolts for alloy wheels could be longer and maybe different countersink angle on the head.
