They'll be very expensive. You can't anodise ferrous metals so they'd probably have to be titanium to be strong enough. Anodising is just a thickened layer of metal oxide, the oxides of ferrous metals decay and flake off unlike the oxides of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals which hold onto an oxidised coating. I don't know of any aluminium wheel nuts, maybe there are some that are strong enough but I doubt it.
