A quick hubcap/wheel cover question

Hello everyone. I have a 2009 Yaris with butt-ugly stock wheel covers.
(These: http://tinyurl.com/6loyrcv )
I hate them, so here's what I have in mind; a set of Volvo covers
(These: http://tinyurl.com/7zfgjsj )
My question is the following: If both my current covers AND the new ones are 15" diameter, are the Volvo ones going to fit?
I've never had a car with steel wheels before---my old Ranger had alloy wheels---so I've got no idea about fitment. I worry about a depth difference between different steel rims.
Looking at the ebay listing for 4 of the Volvo covers, the spring-clip deal on the back looks the same. I just don't want to spend $40 on some wheel covers and have them not fit.
Ideas? Opinions? Experiences?
Thanks everyone.

(BTW I know the new ones aren't exactly the most aerodynamic in the world, but I'm fond of them and kind of don't care )
