Default Lug nuts with conical 60 degree seat

I will soon be installing Rugged Ridge XHD wheels. I want to go with black lug nuts and found some nice ones on Amazon. Just not 100% sure if this is what I need for the RR wheels. Just trying to get all of my stuff picked out before I start placing orders. I know the threads are right, just not sure about the 60 degree seat. Thanks for any input.
Wheels: Rugged Ridge 15301.01 XHD Aluminum Wheel, Black Satin, 17 inch X 9 inches
Lug nuts: https://www.amazon.com/DPAccessories...FKYX7CM5EAGHKE

I have those wheels - good choice. And the lug nuts look like the same ones I have, although I couldn't tell you the angle for sure.

I mainly just need to know if they are tapered or flat where the lug nut meets the wheel? I think ALL of the tapered style are the same 60 degrees. I went to the RR web site to see there lug nuts, but you can't see the mating surface in the pics and description does not specify.

Of course they are tapered as are most all DOT compliant wheels. I would also suggest the wheel protector rings.

BTW they are HUB centric and not lug centric as stated above.

Thanks for the info on the lugs!! Your wheels look great and I love the trim ring! Where did you find the black screws? I think I like that better than the contrast chrome screws....

Interesting, where did you order from? Also, did you have to order the lug nuts and center caps separately or did you get a "package" deal?
