I say Steel all the way .. the alloy lugs have come loose on me in the past (on the track). The steel are great once you torque them down they stay, that being said I am sure the alloy are fine for street use but I'd still check them from time to time.

Yes there are differences in weight and appearance. I use open steel for the track set and closed aluminum for street use.

This is what the Pelican Search Function turns up using the key words "lug," "nuts," "steel," and "alloy.":
”Please tell me all I need to know about using steel lug nuts on a 911.” Best, Grady
