Any downside to have light weight lug nuts?

I purchase some NRG lug nuts and they are lite like a feather. Can these break/ snap at hi speeds or with a lot tq behind the wheels?

You shouldnt have any issue, just never use an impact wrench/air gun to mount them, only a muscle powered torque wrench. I usually do 85 ft-lbs and I've never had a problem. I do use an impact wrench for removal though.
