I don't think I'd trust them... Stainless steel has much different fatigue and strength properties than steel. Plus, they've got to weigh a lot more without the titanium cup parts on them (the cups are machined out of the stainless on those).

those are solid cone lugs.... I wouldnt use them, you want the floating cones like the OEM. The floating cones help center the lugs to the wheels. Even though steel lugs are heavier, they are track proven.

Uhmmm.... no. The Honda lugs are a specially formulated light weight compound this is ultra strong........ OK, the truth is that they are made out of recycled milk bottles!

Better than those is to get a can of "stainless steel" colored (or silver, etc) spray paint and spray the bolts. I've done it several times and it turns out very good.

I don't think the factory lug nuts have titanium cups, more like pot metal or tin. I think the stainless steel ones look nice...but for that price I'll stick with keeping my stock ones clean and painting them as they start look dingy.

I have the H&R lugs and I put a layer of zinc on them...holding up fairly well.

Stainless fasteners are typically only grade 2 or less. They are great for low strength, low torque applications in corrosive environments. Stainless also galls, seizes, and distorts easily and can become one with whatever it is screwing into making it impossible to remove. No thanks.
