Aero l Wheel Lugs

I purchased a set of refinished AMG Aero l wheels, 16x7.5 ET40 for my 95 320CE and would like to purchase a new set of lug bolts for them. What is the best size and type, i.e. 12 x1.5 x112 with ball seat, source?

I have a set of those purchased a few months back but for the EVO-1 Gully rims (16x8.0 ET 36). The problem I have is the dome shape is not the same as factory. A sharper angle, so only the base touches the rim. Almost as if one put in conical lugs. Not super happy. They look nice and shiny with the chrome finish. I would like to know how yours turn out.
