the weight savings vs cost is rediculous.
lug nuts don't weigh much to begin with...

I have never heard of titanium lug nuts. I would be interested in how much they do cost!

Kenny Bernstein tried a set of titanium lugs on his Top Fuel dragster a few years ago, had a dramatic wreck when they sheared at Atlanta Dragway.
Just not worth is in cost / benefit. My .02 worth.

Titanium Lug nuts at $517 a set or $25.85 each. Normal GM $7.00 each. Napa hardened lug nuts $1.25 each
Titanium is a soft flexible metal, Not something you would want to torque to 100 lb ft
