Default BBS Vs. Fuchs - Same lug nuts?

Simple question that occurred to me last night as I put my BBS "winter storage" wheels on the '86. Is the lug nut seat angle the same on the BBS wheels as the factory Fuchs? These are the typical '80's 3-piece BBS wheels, as often fitted to 911's of that era. They've become my winter storage wheels simply because they've got a set of old Goodyears on them, that I wouldn't otherwise trust to go down the street with.

Any way, reason I ask the question about the lug nuts is that I couldn't immediately find the nuts that I have for the BBS wheels, so I just put the factory lugs on there. They seem to have the same seat shape, but just figured I'd verify. I realize it's not a big deal given how I'm currently using them, but just wanted to know for future reference.

Thanks...
