Lug nut specs (angle of flat) for alloy road wheels

Hey all. Radio silence because my 940 has been rock solid.

My question concerns the angle of the part of lug nut that seats against the wheel (unsure of exact term). I'm finally getting around to new(ish) tires, and am switching to 16"x6.5" alloys. Hydras and Satellites (P80 AWD adapted with spacers), swapping between seasons here in New England. As an aside, I'll probably get a second set of Hydras at some point, but I assume the lug nut requirement is the same. An aside, I got the Satellites cheap, and thought I'd like them. I rather do, but like Hydras more, and would like the car to look the same year round. Damn my thriftiness. Anyway, I only have the open nuts from my stock steelies, and the mating surface is a bit chewed up. Hence my need to replace. I plan to buy aftermarket nuts, and want to get it right the first time.

Thanks in advance, and feel free to flame me about the Satellites. You won't be the first, although that's not the reason for my malcontent. I've merely changed my mind after looking at pics of them on the car for a few months now. They will be going on first, only because I fully refinished them over the winter, and am short on time. The Hydras I have need some love.
