I think you will find you still have to turn them clock wise to tighten & anti clock wise to loosen

You first have know which way a clock goes... Now if your only clock is digital.....  ... Now a sensible reply... Torque wrench essential, also different taper, ie countersink, on steel vs some alloys, also how many complete turns of the wheel nut for good thread engagement... critical... If you use wheel nuts meant for steel, then they may not engage enough to be safe, due to the thicker material around the holes on alloys...

They are alloys as are what you have got on now so just compare the holes on the wheels as long as the taper is the same you should be ok.
