You are contradicting yourself.

If a lug with a smaller contact area has the same angle as the seat of Enkei wheels and matches in surface area.... how is that different from a OEM lug that is of a larger surface area and same angle as well as Enkei wheels?

The friction area is the same. As long as the lug nut doesn't deform, it won't matter what lugs you use as long as the conical seat of the lug nut matches up to the wheel lug seat area and proper torque is applied.
