So this all begs the question, what place do aluminum lug nuts have? I've always have used steel in every vehicle I've owned so I never had any issues ever.
I didn't even know that having a lug nut strip so often was a thing until I started reading about it in these forums.
The aluminum fatigues, galls, fuses to studs, stretches and strips when you change on and off and they even just break when not touched from heat/cold changes.
It seems unless you like to gamble with your life and possibly others, only steel should be used and if weight savings is needed then titanium.
