normal beveled seat lug nuts.
A couple years back they still had steel inserts. The last two sets I
bough did not.
In either case I use Mcgaard lug nuts. The taperd seats are captive on
the nut but rotate
as you tighten the nut. So the seat does not grind into the aluminum
check summit racing...even Pep Boys carries mcgaard lugs
...not the exact units... but the pic clearly shows the two piece design
