Looks like a beautifully made product for those looking to shed as much weight as possible from the car. Good job!

One question, though, why the 12-point over a more traditional hex head? More weight savings? Strength characteristics of Ti? Purely aesthetic?

More bite for the 100 ft.lb. torque spec.

These are for the serious racer only. I debated putting these here, but know that some of the C6 owners are racers as well.

These helped Halltech achieve 2947lb weight.

Those are some trick looking lug nuts no matter what anyone says, and they have to be worth something in un-sprung weight. Especially being at the furthest point away from the base of the control arm. Where you at Glass Slipper!?
Not sure why you're taking my post to heart but I already conceded not to post more because it's a vendor's sale thread. I posted my opinion based on my extremely limited knowledge but I'll stand behind it until taught, not bullied, otherwise. Reducing unsprung weight is definitely good but we're talking 1.36lbs TOTAL. Not per wheel. Plus the weight loss is very close to the center.

I agree with what Mr. LS1LT1 said about every little bit helps but even Halltech claims that these are for serious racers only.

Sh*t! Halltech I apologize for the further interference. My original post was from my phone and I couldn't go back and erase it until I got to a PC. Probably shouldn't have posted it anyway but....eh, I was feeling unusually opinionated at the time.

Anyway, nice looking product and I'm sure it will serve the purpose for those who need it.
