Either lug nut should be fine. The wheels are taper seat and I'd go with the bulge ones. Provided the recess in the wheel is large enough the bulge doesn't interfere, they give a little extra contact area for an alloy wheel.
Not sure how to word it,,,,the bulge nut is like putting a washer on a bolt to spread the load.
Plus, the 3/4" will work with a stock lug wrench if that's a concern.

Ok .. then .. the bulge one needs to be ordered .. either or, they don't seem to interfere but the bulge one does seem to fit and look better ... the one without the bulge seems to fit right into the hole .. almost through/? .. thanks for the input ......... geesh!! never thought lug nuts were so complicated ..
