Proper Lug Nuts?

I have an oppurtunity to get a set of factory aluminum mags to replace/upgrade the steel wheel/hubcaps on my wife's Panel. Unfortunately, the factory lug nuts are not there. Can anyone tell me the style of lug nuts used on these rims?? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply and the link to the guy with the black nuts (that just doesn't sound right...). I'm new to the HHR world, are they SS wheels on your ride? Are they the same (lug hole/mounting surface) as the Factory aluminum wheels??

Same bolt pattern, lug nut size and length.

My winter rims



These are my winter rims same lug nuts for the Cobalt SS rims I posted before. Mike has black nuts and chrome nuts, be I think there’s a cream for both ! Send him a PM , he’s a great guy.

Aluminium and alloy wheels usually have nuts with a long neck and bevel. Whereas steel wheels just have a bevel.

These are OEM style lug nuts for the steely rims from the factory

They fit nice on those rims , but not so much on the aluminium factory rims
