if by alloy you mean aluminium, I'd say you were thinking of a quick way to 
spend a lot of money on body work.  I'd stay close to very high grade steel 
for lug nuts on a car as heavy as a Porche.   I don't think the savings on 
unsprung weight will really impact lap times anyway...mind you, who knows 
what the factory team came up with?
