These are the way to go and look better than the ones GM is putting on Camaros. I'll trade anyone who gets these for brand new OE ones.

You may have just saved me $200, these look great, thanks.

What is the purpose of "Splined" vs regular?

Splined are sometimes required for aftermarket wheels.

Note that those are not the "bulge cone seat" lug nuts like the factory lug nuts. The linked 60° "conical seat" nuts are like the McGard set I started with, and I ended up returning that set because I didn't like how those lug nuts seated deeper in the factory wheel (and how they felt different when I was initially torquing them down).

If they have a McGard combo set with the bulge cone seat nuts, you might want to go with that option instead.
