This seems like an excellent move as unsprang weight in a FF is so critical. letters not necessarily in the right order |

I’d do titanium wiper arms first, CofG and all that. |

They are making them with a 17mm reverse allen key head (exactly the same as Ferrari ones) so i need a tool to remove them and there's no risk of scratching the alloys installing them |

Having just bought the stainless ones and I needed to change a wheel so I thought it might be helpful to crack out the scales. Craig is indeed right the OEM nuts weigh 120gm the Stainless ones 135gm each so a full set of 20 adds about 300gm to the total weight of my Range Rover if i’ve got my arithmetic right - I think I can live with that. The Stainless ones were expensive enough i’m sure the Titanium ones will be be beautiful and practical as well as lighter but probably more expensive again. Geoff |

Although the stainless wheelnuts are 300g heavier than the standard ones, the Rangie will have shed more than 300 g of it's metalwork as rust so it's still better BMW i3 Electric Car

Geoff, its not necessarily the weight aspect im thinking of... More so the long term corrosion (like with your stainless ones) and the aesthetics over and above the standard ones...
