Alloy nuts are a well marketed gimmicks IMO.
People like shiny things though, if they didn't there wouldn't be a market for alloy nuts, or even titanium lug nuts for that matter.

not about shiny, about weight. Ok, for most it is probably about shiny, far too many people buy crappy shiny lug nuts and wreck them because they are fragile and people are careless.
I had forged aluminum from Rays on my Yaris for a decade and never had an issue. They are 99% as strong as steel but are lighter.
Currently have gorilla "tuner" lug nuts on, same thing applies. almost as strong, but lighter. Might as well save a little weight where you can.
And I despise chrome with a passion. Just a weird personal taste, so those are out for me.
