I know you cannot use the original lug nuts on Alcoa wheels.

However can Alcoa lug nuts be used on a steel wheel?

I'm asking because my spare is on a 16" steel wheel and I really don't want to have to carry, and find if needed, a set of OEM lugnuts.

From an engineering standpoint these lug nuts have very different clamp mechanisms. My answer is absolutely not. I suppose super glue may work but i sure wouldn't do it!
