You don't need TI lugs, I agree with the powdercoat suggestion.
Vipertestarossa, how are the caps mounted? Is there a risk of them flying off? Sounds intersting as well.

I don't know, they like they are ready to shear at any moment!! Go Ti or Go home!!!! LOL
I would think the caps would be best. Powdercoat would get subjected to impact guns and lug wrenches.

But when we did the Tail of the Dragon mine melted to the lugs from excessive speed and braking
I had to remove them with a needle nose vise grip
that will not happen with normal street driving and even spirited street driving

I believe it is more like one pound per wheel. They are lighter and stronger than stock, and obviously look a hell of a lot better. But they are expensive -- around $550 a set. If you're interested call John Murray at 310-980-1912.

Definitly not for me. I do the odd track day now and then.
