Default Worthy replacement for OEM wheel's Acorn lugs

I got a set from Strauss Auto and their seatings are not deep/round enough like the oems. I am looking for a set of cheap (under $40) lugs that will fit the oem wheels perfectly...why not the oem you ask, they quote me $8 per lug, now multiply by 20.

Go to Pepboys and get McGards. McGard makes the OEM nuts and they are excellent quality. $6.99/4 or $35 a set and they are identical to what you will get at the dealer.

I think I had the McGuards, but they are 21mm instead of OEM's 19mm, Does it matter?

Also, I heard about Gorilla, but I am looking for lugs that need just ordinary sockets...17, 19, 21...I am notorious for losing lug keys, most who know me can vouch that.
