New YearOne Snowflakes, what type of seat for lug nut?

Just received my set of Snowflakes from YearOne in the mail, and I noticed the the lug nut seat does not seem to be machined for a cone seat lug nut, my guess is that I need to run a mag seat (flat seat), the lug hole is 3/4" in diameter.. as are the mag seat type lug nuts.

Could somebody clarify as to which type of seat I should be looking into, your help is much appreciated, see pics below! (Enjoy the teaser of the GTA)

What lug nuts did you end up using? I just got a set of these wheels and not sure what lugs to get.

Straight seat lug nuts. Not the acorn/tapered type.

I believe 12mmx1.5

What tire size did you go with?
What was shipping like for you to get them over the border (I'm in Ontario)

Customs is the nasty part.

But i believe shipping was about $200
