I hear a lot of horror stories with the aluminum ones breaking.
I do still use them only for general driving for the looks but swap to steel for track days.
Theyre a pain to keep looking tidy used my impact gun once and made it look a mess so do it by hand now and torque them up properly.
Expensive for what they are I paid 125quid for a full set for the car probably paid over the odds but I like them

Also prone to threads being damaged by dirt and going very stiff. Don't like them at all.

I worked out with one set, you save upto 800g just in nut weight. As for them breaking, id never put an air impact wrench within 20 foot of an ali wheel nut, torque them to correct specification!

Il find link after.
