Stick with steel nuts mate.
Wheel security is too important to faff about with IMO.
Ally nuts might be fine on a show car, but for an everyday runner they're a ticking bomb. It might be a small risk, but who needs it?

A mate of mine runs a garage and about 3 months ago he collected a wrecked BMW (think it was a BMW) from the Preston area. The guy had bought some nice lightweight wheelnuts of Ebay from a reputable manufacturer and they had sheared whilst he was cornering..... wheel came off and the rest is history.
When the nuts were tested they were found to be copies made in China!!
That's the brave new world for you!
