I have had issue's with brand BLOX back in my Honda days so those are out.
What issues?
A friend had a cam break like the Crowers use too. I choose not to use there parts on my cars that's it

I bought RAYS lug nuts they came in today. Its 14 grams per lug nut of weight diffrence from the big Rays aluminum one compared to the steel mini tuner allen lug nut.
So with that said
.123458 lb per wheel with 4 lug nuts or .493835 lb on all four wheel with 4 lug nuts per wheel
.154323 lb per wheel with 5 lug nuts or .617294 lb on all four wheel with 5 lug nuts per wheel
In short its about 1/2 pound savings over the tuner steel ones

2lb of rotational weight isn't anything to dismiss, especially if it comes with no drawback other than cost.

I'm tempted to model these in Solidworks to see if the MOI change should even be mentioned. Unsprung weight? Sure, sounds good. But I'm skeptical the rotational weight change is worth mentioning.
