| It looks like a ball style lug. What wheels are you using it with? The lug style needs to match the wheels. |

| 14" steel wheels and 15" steel wheels. So likely ball seat but neither are stock so wanted to be sure |

I don’t know if “spherical” is correct terminology.
But the bolts noted are OEM from Audi 5000 wheels.
But maybe the pic helps.
I eventually bought “ball seat” nuts from T3 Technique.

Note that there are 12mm and 14mm radius ball seat lugs/studs.
It is common for M12 lugs to have to 12mm seat and same for M14, however some cars, (some Audi’s for sure) are M14 with a 12mm radius.
