Someone over tightened the lug nuts on this car before I bought it, so much that I couldn't break the nuts loose and had to take it in to a local tire place and have them back off the keyed nuts. I was afraid of stripping them. Anyway, two of the keyed nuts broke. I figure I'll replace the full set seems how the rest look like they're starting to round off at the corners.
Now in looking for new lug nuts, most websites list acorn style seats for the 944. When I was in the local store comparing nuts they I thought they looked to resemble the bulge style seats the most while this thread claims radiused.
I know the thread is 14 x 1.5 but what sort of seats do I need? My searches for "Porsche lug nuts" turns up nuts that are $7-15 each without mention of the seat. Maybe it's just me but I'm sure $100+ for a set of lug nuts is a little excessive and I don't mind buying aftermarket.
Edit: Forgot to mention, these are going on the stock phonedials that I will refinish soon as the spray booth at school starts working.

Our lug nuts use a ball seat. I recently bought a set for my Fiske wheels from

I think they were $2 each
