Aluminum lug nuts?

Does anyone here use forged aluminum lugs nuts like the ones found on ebay? Are they safe?

I have a cheapo set of forged alloy lugs for the street....they are soft which is why I dont use them on the track. I dont think they'd break but I wont take the chance out therre.

OK I decided to just buy the chromed steel lug nuts. I did a search on the board and cant find out what size I need. So what size lug nut do I need for the Forenza?

I couldn't find ANY lug nuts and ANY of the five auto parts stores I went to this weekend. I know there are like 12 different thread patters out there but you would think that as long as the Reno has been out there they would carry lug nuts!

...weird all of the auto stores here have them. There are only two common lug sizes, our car uses one of them.

I have lugs for sale on eBay actually. They're blue tuner lugs. eBay link:

Well...
I finally looked at Wal-Mart to see if they had them and according to their chart ALL Suzukis use the type E lug nut that is like you said 12mm x 1.5

But of COURSE they did not have any
