Hi, I have bought these alloys

Yes they look like the standard volvo wheel bolt shape.

As above. You may not want to put the safety lug, these get stuck

Also I would recommend you get rid of the locking wheel bolt and just fit a standard wheel bolt instead.
A tyre changing shop overtightened my one and it cost £70 for a specialist to remove it.

No one steals these sorts of wheels in the UK any more.

Just on a side note: these are the old type bolts with the "not-moving" part at the top. If you check VIDA, Volvo has changed them from around 2006/2007 onwards. From that point on, Volvo only sold the newer ones.

Means, you can still use them, they are at least 13yrs old, but if you get your hands on a cheap set of newer ones, I'd change them.
