or is there no difference?
I might be wrong (but I doubt it) the straight (linear) bevel ones are used on both alloy and steel; they are 60°. The curve bevel is used on certain applications and I've never seen those on the Suzukis I've seen. Just look at the bevel on the wheel and see if it is linear or curved.
there is also a 90 degree nut. I'm pretty sure that the alloy nuts on my 4u2 were a different taper to the steels on the SJ. I nearly had a front wheel come off my Mazda because of this issue, I stopped to investigate on take off and found 4 nuts loose and two missing! someone before me must have swapped the wheels.
I had flat faced ones on my steels on my sj , and the only other time I've ever changed wheels was from steel to alloy on an old escort and I had to change the nuts, will try the original ones and just keep an eye on them me thinks
