These nuts are awesome. Pretty much world class quality without sacrificing the "super tuner" look. If you want that flashy look, use whatever you're going to get, but if you want something that doesn't really stand out and offers superior security, then McGard is the way to go. I love that each nut is spline-driven, making it a secure nut, but there's also the added security of a dedicated locknut per wheel. Using two wrenches every time you change a wheel can be a little more difficult remove, but it's great for security. If you have these nuts, the thief will have to remove EACH INDIVIDUAL nut, not just one per wheel. In addition, spline nuts have a floating fit that works great without scratching the wheels. I don't know why the special lock nut doesn't have this feature.
