Aluminum lugs are dicey. I think they would be ok if you took them off a lot. If they stay on a whole they get fucked up

Aluminum and steel don't play well together especially if there is moisture and salt involved to speed up the reaction.

Lesson learned. At least changing studs is super simple. No cutting/notching or removing the Hub.

So far for quarantine/layoff from work I have done most of the black JDM pieces, except radio sides and steering wheel piece. I have also finally installed my Perrin intake tube and K&N oiled filter that have been sitting around since last fall.

I polished all the OEM steel tubes under the hood. I used mother's polish and a rag. It took some time, but you have that. Use a piece of masking tape on the rubber hose next to the crimp, some polish may discolor the rubber.

They will dull in finish over a year or so, but shine up with a quick wipe.

This picture is a lil dusty and hasn't been detail in awhile.

I'm missing a lot of these parts now so it should be quicker!
