There is no way ti lug-nuts save enough to justify their use, even though they comprise unsprung weight. Most of us would be better off in more ways than one if WE lost some weight. 
But, if you opt for ti, be sure to use anti-sieze and lessen torque according to Katech's recommendation.

I bought mine on Amazon. Lots of different brands available.
We torque to 100 lb-ft. Our car shop uses a small amount of anti-seize on the threads. I have put them on dry before.
