If your unsure, call in to a tyre shop and ask for advice. I'm certain they will help with identifying the correct fittings for your wheels and probably be able to supply them at reasonable price.
Possibly get them to mount the wheels for you, my local tyre shop charges £15 to change a tyre, fit a new valve, balance and re fit to the car.
If I were at all uncertain about doing it, I'd move the responsibility to a specialist (engineers call it covering one's bottom).
I'd be a much happier driver knowing it had been done properly and you can always ask the tyre shop to show you the correct method of mounting the wheels when they are doing the job. As a driver, you should know, changing a wheel at the roadside does happen. Just ask, we all have to learn and they will happily show you.

Nice one Sniper - I was about to add the same suggestion about going to a tyre fitter. You beat me to it!

No one is suggesting that you don't. What is being put forward is that if you have a concern and then have them looked at by a professional workshop if they're not happy with the way the nuts fit they'll tell you so and offer a solution but equally if they are happy with them and there's a problem down the line you have the reassurance that the wheels and nuts were examined by a professional workshop.

It isn't, you just need to know what style of nut they use either by measuring them or finding the fitment from the manufacturers and or suppliers of the wheels. Once you know if they're x degree chamfer or x mm radius or flat and sleeve or whatever then it's easy.

Think of it like this. A juicy red apple is nice but not every apple is red. Not knowing who made the wheels at what time and even where makes it difficult to categorically say they are the same as all the other similar ones out there. The only true way of knowing is to take a wheel off and measure the nut seat.
