Well I guess they would hold the wheel on, but...... most of the aftermarket types I looked at, all rested inside the recess of the wheel tapered hole and only squished a small bit of metal when tightened down. The OEM and gorilla with the large bulge were the ones that sat above the recess and actually clamped down the whole thickness of the wheel. (if you know what I mean).

+1 for Gorilla lugs. I have a black full locking set on my truck. They are great.

Took a few precision measurements incase anyone still doubts, also an OEM aluminum wheel from my truck with both the oem lock lug and the Gorilla lug for comparison. The oem lug is barely .028" or 0.79mm larger at the bevels widest.
As you can see the size difference is miniscule making Gorilla lugs perfectly capable of holding an oem or aftermarket wheel on securely.
