Default splintering lug nuts?

This is the first and probably last time I've never seen a lug nut corrode and splinter apart. What are these things made of? Whats a good steel replacement? I'm going to try removing them shortly wish me luck.

I managed to get the worst of them off surprisingly.

I bought my steel replacements (required for club racing) from Paragon ~15 years ago. Original set is still holding up, though they now have a bit of surface rust.
