HALT!

The alloy wheels are thicker, so you'll need longer bolts for the front.
Using the bolts from the steel wheels can gall and strip the threads in
your rotors. My local (and now avoided) tire shop did that for me about a
year ago... I told them about the correct bolts, and left them right on top
of hte alloys, so they really couldn't have missed them. :-/
