If you are desperate to get that extra 100000000th of a second in the quarter mile it might be worth the change.

From what I have found the aluminum lug nuts are too easy to strip out even with a torque wrench.

If you think about it you might only save a few ounces per wheel. It might make a half pound difference over the entire car.

You would probably save more weight by skipping a meal before you head to the track.
