Default Wheel question

Just picked up a set of Borbet Wheels and the lug nuts don't seem to want to sit flush when torqued. Do these wheels require some special lug nut ?
Thanks.

There are two different types of lug nuts that I know of; conical-type and ball-type. (The end of the lug nut that contacts the wheel surface is either conical shaped or round) Then, there are two types of stud openings in the wheel.....conical and ball. You must match up conical to conical and ball to ball for the lugs to tighten up flush. I believe Porsche uses ball type.
