Hmmm, some are made of steel and some are alum. I wonder if the alum ones would be strong enough? Anyone use the alum ones? I like the look of them and the weight savings would be nice.

Yeah, but I would think that there would be a much different kind of stress on the lug nuts, especially during hard cornering.

I really like the idea of having them made of aluminum for the weight savings, but would want the lock to be made of alum also. The black gorilla lug nuts look good too.
