Probably cone seat for the Maya..
They're made in Japan to my recollection, and more than likely cone seat. Haven't seen them in person, so I can't say for certain.
You should be able to pull one lug bolt out, and inspect the contact area of the bolt. It should give a good indication of how the bolt is sitting on the wheel.

Sorry, but 3T is wrong.
My bolts are confirmed by RAD, MIM, and Sportech.ch.
Sportec is a Swiss company. Wheels being made for them by MIM Tecnomagnesia in Italy.
Mono 10 ET35 on A4 requires #2242.

Definitely not trying to stir the pot, but my wheels weren't made by MIM....
Mike - I know Sportec is Swiss, but they switched manufacturers for the Mono-10 at some point from their original foundry (MIM, I guess) to Rays Engineering. My wheels say Rays on the back. Supposedly the wheels from Rays are a good 5-6 pounds lighter than the original Mono-10 design (haven't weighed them myself).
Now, that doesn't mean that the bolt fitment changed along with the foundry; you may still be 100% right....I just know that I called 3T, they looked into it, and told me that the stock bolts are fine. I'll be damned if I can tell from looking at the wheel whether it's a ball or cone seat, even using a straight-edge like you suggested....the seat surface is too shallow to tell reliably if it's curved.
