Default Magnesium wheel lug question

Can someone send a pic or tell me what lug nuts were used for the magnesium wheels? Was it a standard lug or the shoulder/mag lug? Thanks.

I had the magnesium wheels on my '99 and they were the standard lugs that I used with the wagon wheels, thinspokes, and Z06 wheels too.

The ones with the external threads and the plastic cap.

Thanks guys. I just picked up a set of mag wheels from a wrecked 99 vertical. 2 of the wheels were trash so I scrapped them at the metal yard. I ended up with a near perfect rear that I'll be selling here soon, and a very minor damaged front that I will be bringing with me as a spare on longer trips. Just in case, as I don't have run flats. So it looks like I can just use my standard lugs that are on the car now. appreciated
