I've used aluminum alloy (duralumin) lug nuts on my Subaru for years without any issues. But, the torque spec on the Subaru is 67 +/- 5ft-lb. I wouldn't be too keen on torquing aluminum lug nuts to 100ft-lb (the V's spec). It'll be interesting to see how that works out over time.
Keep in mind that anti-seize changes the running torque of the fastener. There really shouldn't be any need to use it, assuming the lug nuts are high quality with good threads.

I'd be down for a set of these if they fit without having to use wide trailing arms (maybe anyway). Any pics of these on a V1? I bet they'd look awesome. Any specs on the lug pattern, width, offset?

Never assume you'll get feedback. I've spent thousands of dollars on stuff that doesn't work or fit and don't provide feedback. It's not worth my time. Tons of people work the same way--McLeod, for instance, almost never receives feedback on their shitty slave cylinder fittings. It's partially because it's not worth the hassle for a $500 part and partially because they aren't interested in listening, which further discourages feedback. But they fail all the time.
