Talking OK to use steel lugs on alloy wheels?

Hi folks,

The PO of the car was an active Time Trialer, and therefore had steel lug nuts for the Fuchs.

A wrench told me I ought to switch back to alloy lugs as soon as possible, because the steel ones will "bite" too deeply into the alloy.

True? Has anyone damaged their alloy wheels by using steel lugs?

thanks
