Aluminum Lug nits?

So I had a blowout and found that I have two sizes of lugs on my car, I need a new set.

Does anyone know how aluminum lugs hold up?

ps i meant nuts in the title lmao.

They should be fine, just make sure not to cross thread them. I personally have never heard anything bad about them...and of course you will save a small bit in rotational mass, which means a tad less parasitic hp loss.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

I would be worried about oxidation over the long term, it'll lock those things on there.

Definitely. Think about how hard the trans mount bolts are to get out on cars that havent had them out in awhile.
