Default Are these lug nuts ok to use? White Knight Acorn

I am rotating my tires and decided to replace all my lug nuts too because the casing is falling off on a lot of them. I got these at Pep Boys.

White Knight 110044 Acorn 1/2" R.H. 13/16 Conical Wheel.

They fit the treads but the cone part is a little more shallow and doesn't fill up the entire hole in the rim like the stock ones do. Is it ok or does anyone suggest different lug nuts to use instead?

IMHO, on an alloy rim if it doesn't fit properly I wouldn't use them. New ones aren't that expensive from the dealer.

Thanks Dan. I am going to take them back and get these McGard bulge cone ones. Looks like these are a good upgrade from the stock nuts because they are solid.
