We've just released our lightweight aluminum lug nuts. These are machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and true hard anodized.

A lot of the lug nuts you see on the market claim to be hard anodized, but often they are not. Hard anodized plating is typically only available in black and a gunmetal gray/bronze color. If it's any other color, it's most likely not hard anodized. These lug nuts are much more durable and difficult to scratch than your typical aluminum lug nut.

Price is $90 for a set of 20. F-Bodys use M12 x 1.50 mm thread. Available for purchase on our website here: http://www.improvedracing.com/wheel-lug-nu...x150-p-501.html

Material strength is one factor in fastener design, but how have you validated resistance to gawing and seizing? 1.5 lbs of weight savings isn't worth having a lug seize up while rotating tires at a track day.

So long as they are torqued correctly, they should not seize. I've had lug nuts seize before (and they were steel), but it was due to over-torquing. Aluminum on steel and titanium on steel will not typically gall. Stainless steel on stainless steel galls like crazy, which is why we never use stainless nuts on stainless bolts.
