Default Lug Nuts - Different for Steel vs Alloy Wheels?

Just bought a used set of stock Honda/Enkei alloy wheels to upgrade from the steel wheels my 02 Accord LX came with. Do the alloy wheels require a different type lug nut? Also, is the lug nut torque spec different for alloys vs steel?

Nope, they're ball-type lug nuts, and they require the same torque to tighten them down.

Got her new shoes put on this afternoon. Nice improvement over bare steelies but I'm definitely going to have to try my hand at sanding down/polishing out what curb rash there is and then reapplying a clear-coat in the near future.
