From what you have described these are the standard steel wheel nuts Holden uses with their alloys. They are tapered on one end and locate the alloys well on the hub. They sit well inside the stud holes in the rim when done up fully.

If you are worried just drive into a dealer service department and show them the wheels. They will tell you straight away if they are the incorrect type of wheel nuts. They sound correct though from your post.

If my effort to attach a pic works, the correct nut will be the middle one in the photo. The one on the right is the old style of nut used on steel rims and the left hand one is the early Commodore style.
