Pretty much, they heat up and cool down, takes awhile to normalize, and the threads wear out. Sort of like carbon fiber wheels, looks good on paper, but no one I know of runs them in competition,. Even the single lug GT wheels use a magnesiun nut not aluminum. The ones we use are steel and coated with teflon and they take a beating from the high speed impact wrenches on pit stops, I just don't see aluminum holding up.
