Default Tuner lug nuts...spline drive vs open end...

So im looking at replacing the lug nuts on my car. Currently Gorilla brand spline drive style. Several years old, been off and on a good number of times and showing some wear.

So whats are your opinions on the spline drive style vs open end??

if you're worried about getting your wheels stolen, a closed locking lug, like the OEM McGuard units are really nice

if not, throw some cheap stuff on there, open ended, closed ended, whatever.

if you have to have some bling, then by all means, over-pay for some pretty nuts
