I feel like there are a million other things that can be done with that money with alot more benefit. Needless to say you wont ever see "lightweight" lug nuts on my car and you WILL see knock of rims or painted stock ones

This aluminum has the lowest yield strength of all the aluminums used to make lug nuts.
Your ASTM charts show it having a higher yield strength than steel, with a UTS that's right on par.....?

This is why I keep on coming back to you guys (and will again this weekend for 2 more tires).

Can't wait to see what you've come up with and to see the puppy again.
