Aluminum lug nuts? What is the purpose there? Save weight?
Are you trying to make sure you have extended studs for drag racing? Open ended?
As was mentioned, McGuard probably has what you need.
Got a photo of the setup?
There is no way an ARP stud would strip guys.

I have a ricer 47" NRG harness bar in my Buick. Those lug nuts are aluminum, no way they'd take 100 ft lbs. I've always run ARP studs and they are some of the strongest things around, you could probably whack the threads with a hammer and vise grips and the threads would be fine.

If it's about weight saving I know there are very expensive titanium lug nuts available. I believe Porsche uses them on some models. You have to be very careful with them and lube them properly or they will gall on the steel studs and seize.

What about these? They sell both the ARP studs and these lugs for their race cars.
