No. Most aftermarket wheels use a tapered (pointed) shaped lug. OEM wheels use a ball (rounded) shaped lug. Using one that is not the correct one for the wheel will result in it not seating against the wheel properly. You could use either temporarily, but I wouldn't.

Buy a good set of McGard, Gorilla, whatever name brand. No-name ones will strip or seize much easier.
