The nuts needed for alloy wheels are not actually made from alloy but do have a extra wide angled collar to stop the bare steel nut cutting into the wheel so your friend is spot on, failure to fit correct nuts could in some cases result in damaged wheel or worse still pulling through alloy and coming off causing injury to all
