Paint and powder coat are just coatings and will deteriorate and erode.
However the process that is done to make the "Neo Chrome" finish can both be used on steel and aluminum. I have Neo chrome steel mutekis that are totally fine. This Look takes a different procces than anodizing but has a similar end result in changing the actual metals color appearance.

When I had Rays extended lug nuts I didn't have any "safety" problems, I just had my mechanic use a torque wrench instead of a impact gun, and I don't think RAYS will make lug nuts that are less safe than cheaper muteki lug nuts. The reason why I say avoid muteki and similar ones because they chip badly, and I doubt anyone want red lug nut that look chrome after 1 summer. But I agree with people that kics are the best, which is what I will get this time for the FRS
