Looks good.

Titanium is pricey. Where did you find them?

I went with McGard black lug nuts and have been extremely happy.

Thanks for posting. Never heard of them. That's a too good to be true price for real titanium.

Look into replacing your valve stem caps to top it all off.

I purchased these:

I went with McGard too. Huge difference appearance wise, and a name you can trust.

I could feel the weight reduction, they say 35-45% less weight. Uses the same Torque OEM.

Sure hope you used lube (anti seize) on the Ti lugnuts. Ti really likes to gall to the steel studs.

They said not to use anything on the instructions. I was going to use anti seize.

Remember, using anti seize or any lubricant changes the torque value.

No redeeming social value, except on the highest level race vehicle. But, dandy for bench-racing.

I went with the McGard Black Chrome lug nuts as others have. Also changed out the valve stem caps to black with the C7 logo. Love the look.

These don’t have o-rings but they look great. And it’s the C7 logo. https://www.ebay.com/i/333263306905?...SABEgIAaPD_BwE
