Titanium open ended lug nuts
Anyone run these or similar lug nuts? 2lbs total savings for all four corners isn’t too bad considering that is unsprung weight and I believe for every 1lb lost of unsprung weight it equals to 4 or 8 lbs of sprung weight. These also have a brake cooling effect I guess from the open ended design which lets air get to the brakes.

Yes there will be a slight decrease in unsprung weight but it will never make a difference that you would ever notice even if you were running carbon fiber wheels and carbon ceramic brakes. The claim of increased brake cooling is bogus plain and simple, galling will almost certainly be a problem.
