Anyone running aluminum lug nuts?
I see aluminum lug nuts listed in great colors like blue or red, but are these safe to used on a performance street machine? It just seems questionable to me.

I run these titanium ones. Lightweight, strong and no Corvette tax:

P.S. Aluminum? Not me. One of the biggest problems is when you mount and dismount your wheels is that the aluminum threads have a tendency to gall and wear without you really noticing. I used to run aluminum lug nuts on my drag car but I would throw them away after about 3 or 4 on/off cycles and I was super careful not to over torque them. I would never run them on a car that turns as hard as our Z's.
