Default Anyone used the VMS lug nuts?

So I got my purple Fiske's refinished and repainted locally, and I'm having them mounted/balanced/installed next week. I wanted to dress up the old rusty lugnuts too. I really wanted the TiKore ones but I'm not going to drop $800 on lugnuts.. I found these. Is anyone using them? Are there any issues with them oxidizing, is the build quality good?

Get the TiKore ones you cheap skate hahaha... Only kidding of course lol. $40 for one lug nut the robbing bastards. Are they made of platinum? The advert for the more sensible choice say they are stainless steel. Life time guarantee not to change. Stainless steel means what it says. Stainless and that the way they should always stay. I don't use them myself but thought I would throw my 2 cents worth at you.
