Is it OK to use aluminum lug nuts on a steel wheel?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Porsche also made TITANIUM lug nuts. In my opinion,... that for steel wheels you use STEEL lug NUTS, anti sieze the studs or bolt threads..... Obviously STEEL lug nuts are stronger. obviously STEEL lug nuts will not expand or contract as much as titanium or aluminum. Obviously STEEL lug nuts will take hammering with an impact wrench much better....and NO LUG NUTS ...furnished as O.E.M. parts for the 914 were titanium or aluminum..Obviously the 914 (excpt 914-6 ) HAS ONLY FOUR BOLTS to attach the wheels ..Use STEEL LUG NUTS.., or STEEL BOLTS. For other Porsche cars aluminium lug nuts may have been furnished, with an ALUMINIUM wheels whereby the aluminum wheel and nut might expand and contract together.(this is an assumption on my part)... On the 356 porsche all O.E.M. lug nuts were STEEL.....for your consideration.
