Also, what material do you folks recommend, aluminum or stainless steel?
Thanks!

Spiked lug nuts will just be a bling factor, I don't know that there is anything specific about them that is an upside or downside. I haven't owned any so I can't make any additional commentary on that. As for material, out of those two options, you're always better off with steel for stronger lugs, especially if you autocross or track your car. I have purchased aluminum in the past for other vehicles and had no issues, but I have read some horror stories about them.
Most importantly, be sure you are getting the correct thread pitch - 12x1.25, otherwise they won't fit or you will ruin your studs.
