We've just released our lightweight aluminum lug nuts. These are machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and true hard anodized.

A lot of the lug nuts you see on the market claim to be hard anodized, but often they are not. Hard anodized plating is typically only available in black and a gunmetal gray/bronze color. If it's any other color, it's most likely not hard anodized. These lug nuts are much more durable and difficult to scratch than your typical aluminum lug nut.

Price is $90 for a set of 20. F-Bodys use M12 x 1.50 mm thread. Available for purchase on our website here: http://www.improvedracing.com/wheel-lug-nu...x150-p-501.html

Did you make any progress on the Ti lug nuts? I see another vendor selling Ti 12x1.5mm 12pt 16g lug nuts @$7. Is saving 1.6oz per wheel over your anodized Al version worth another $50? There has to be a point of diminishing returns.

We have completed the designs for our Ti lug nuts, and the next step is to make some prototypes and test them. But we've been distracted with some other projects lately.

It's kind of a personal decision. To some people it's worth it, others prefer to just keep the stock lug nuts. The obvious advantage of Ti is that it's stronger than aluminum, not so much the weight savings. It's only a bit lighter because it's stronger and therefore less material is required. Who is selling Ti lug nuts for $7 each? That's actually pretty inexpensive. Ours would likely be priced close to $200 for a set of 20 (so closer to $10 each).
