I believe anyone familiar with titanium lug bolts will agree that these are worth more than $450. You normally see these at double the price. There are many factors:
1) Cost of titanium (certified aerospace grade)
2) Cost of technology to machine titanium (precision manufacturing)
3) Rolling threads instead of cutting threads
4) Precision manufacturing cost money, but it is the right way to do things when your talking about the types of cars these are going on and the money normally spent on the wheels.
Thank you for the great question,
Joshua

I have a hard time listening to someone who says

You would be so much better off doing almost anything else to your car than doing this. There is absolutely no benefit here other than having weaker lugs on your car. If you have a race car where every gram can help, that's one thing, but for a 3800 pound plus car, it's 100 percent useless. Let's get that straight!
