Gorilla locking lugnuts conical?

I just bought a new set of wheels from TireRack and a set of Gorilla lock nuts. The problem is, the contact point looks closer to the stock ones than the conical tuner lugs. The contact of the Gorilla area is so short that it's hard to tell if it's conical or ball. Check out this picture (conical tuner nut left, gorilla nut right):



Did I get the wrong Gorilla nuts?

I emailed Gorilla with no response.

I called TireRack and they could only say, "these are correct according the computer".

But reality is making me wonder.

Go here (http://www.gorilla-auto.com/vehicleSearch/) and plug in your car (all Subies are the same) and check it with the part number of the ones you got
