Take one of the wheel bolts out and check mate! :D

I THINK they're conical...but you can't quote me on that.

i think all stock wheels use ball-seat bolts and most aftermarket wheels are conical

Conical seat lugs/nuts have a slanted (straight) seat whereas ball seat lugs/nuts have a rounded seat. Conical seats are most often used for alloys/aftermarket wheels whereas ball seat mostly for steel wheels.
