Found out that 'Ball Seat' and 'Acorn' are different with the 'Ball Seat' being more spherical and the 'Acorn' having a sharp angle of 60degrees from the horizantal.
If that's the way Gorilla uses those terms - and I'm not sure that it is - then they use them differently from everyone else in the industry.
Everyone else uses the term "ball seat" and "acorn seat" interchangeably. When you walk into Autozone to order lug nuts for an NSX, they ask you whether you want "acorn" or "standard" lug nuts. If you ask for acorn, what you get is the ball (spherical) shaped seating area, just as you show in your first photo above. Your second photo is called "tapered" throughout the rest of the industry.
The reason I say that I'm not sure that's how Gorilla uses those terms (even though you say it is) is this. If you go to
Gorilla's website and you enter any year Honda/Acura car (excluding certain SUVs), it displays a selection of what they describe as "acorn" lug nuts, and yes, they look like your second photo. If that's the case, then not only are they using the term differently from the rest of the industry, but they are also showing the wrong lug nuts for Honda/Acura cars. The other possibility is that they are specifying the proper lug nuts but they are shown on their website with the wrong photos. In either case, it's very confusing and I think
something is wrong, perhaps several somethings.
The good news is, you can easily tell whether you have the right lug nuts by looking at them. If they look ball-shaped (like the first photo above), then they're the right ones for OEM Honda/Acura wheels. If they look tapered-shaped (like the second photo above), then they're the right ones for aftermarket wheels. Sounds like you got the right ones for your wheels.
