Your best bet may be to stop by a local wheel and tire store and have them show you what they have for choices.
You can also check out some of the links at this site for more details. That link shows a third type of seat type, the ball/radius type. I have not seen any of those personally, but the background photo reminded me that some European models don't even use lugnuts, they have lug bolts. They are not fun to change wheels on as you have to hold the wheel in place and rotate it to get the bolts started.
