Which Lug Nuts? McGard,Gorilla or AR....

I have 20" Razors on the way, but any thoughts on Lug Nuts? McGard, Gorilla or American Racing?

I think I want to get the Gorilla Splined Tuner style where every lug is a lock.

Any thoughts?

The Ford factory ones are McGard locks. I have them on my wheels.

I looked between the Gorilla and McGard when getting new locks for the wheels on my 69 and went with the McGard. Having every lug nut be a lock seemed overkill to me and the Gorilla ones seemed potentially defeatable to me by using a big vise grip plier or some such thing since they are just ribbed. The opinion on the Gorillas is purely speculative as I have never heard anything bad about them.

I have the McGard locking lugs from Ford. Ordered them as on option. I was assuming I could not use them on my Razors. I think I was told or read you can't use factory wheel lug nuts on aftermarket wheels. True?
