Light weight are usually aluminum and they strip easier than steel acorn lugnuts. Just a precaution.

It is lighter, but the "weight saving" is so insignificant that it is almost a pure bling factor. Plus, aluminum will bond to steel (the studs) more easily under high heat application so you are highly recommended to use anti-seize.

which is exactly what you don't want to do..
the idea is to pinch the metals against each other at all possible contact points..."snot" inhibits that

ergo, leave the light weight lugs to those that wanna switch 'em up every other day, or are extremely handy with a set of torches
