Correct Lug nuts

What are the correct lug nuts for aluminum wheels, the tire shop says I have the wrong lug nuts for aluminum wheels. I currently have the bulge style acorn nuts, the only other type I have seen while researching was the flange type and it seems they might be for dually's. Thanks in advance for the help

My '02 has the bulge style w/aluminum wheels. I replaced wheels with 17" 4th Gen aluminum and chrome clad steel, used the original nuts with both sets. If your wheels have a flat lug nut mating surface instead of beveled, you may have to use a flanged nut.
