EvoTech rear axle nuts for the 1290 SDR

Does anyone have any experience with the EvoTech 1290 rear axle nuts?
A set of them have been sitting on my work bench for over a year because I was afraid to use them since they are aluminium.
Do they get torqued to the same specs as the OEM steel nuts?
Do they get lubricated before installation?
Have they been known to fail?
