But I personally know one street racer who uses exactly this brand of wheel accessories.

McGard, Gorilla or Rays - let's choose between competitors

Rays locking system is really wonderful for racers and professional drivers but it's very expensive. So, yes, it can be really competitive for Gorilla, but only in that way if you have quite a lot of money to buy the nuts. Otherwise, there is no need to look at such products because of their quite big prices.

McGard wheel locks are nearly the same price as Gorilla options but they really don't go further in quality and other factors. There is no safety at all in using these wheel nuts and the other problem - you don't get good assortment to choose. These products are made to be sold as safety equipment but they don't seem to be optimal in this way.

Gorilla lug nuts are optimal in correspondence of price and quality. You don't have to worry about small things like durability and long lasting work. With these products it's always true. And you have a big choice of designs and other features. There are quite a lot of small protective nuts which you can use on any kinds of cars.

These are main factors to choose the best variant of special accessories. Because you can compare different options exactly on the car.
