I disagree. The taper makes zero contact with the wheel -- you can see this if you just take off one of your stock lugs and look closely at where the marks/scratches are. The taper is completely irrelevant. What centers the wheel is the hub, not the lug nuts. Hence the term 'hub-centric', as in hub-centric wheel spacers, for example. Think about it. Mount your wheel, but before putting any lug nuts on, if you move the wheel side to side, do the walls of the holes bang into the studs? No, they don't, because they're already centered.
I do agree that it's better to get the ones from Courtesy, now that they're finally available (I got my McGards before the 'real' ones were available). If you've already got the McGards, however, I see no reason to waste your money on ordering another set from Courtesy. I've had mine on for 4 months now without any problem whatsoever.
