Kics Caliber. They are the cheaper ones, not the R26/40. They care 7 point for safety, closed end steel lugnuts. They aren't the lightest ones out there, not light at all, but they look nice and seem like they would fit the bill quite well for what you're looking for.

Do they really weigh that much to make a difference? Probably talking grams from what is considered light to heavy?!?... I'm seriously asking (not joking) cause I'm not sure. Never really researched lugs before until now.
Thanks,

Unsprung rotational weight is the most important type of weight, but I doubt it will feel any difference. I haven't been able to find any weights, I know that the Kics R26/40 are 26 and 40 grams respectively, 949 are 25 grams, these could very well be 40 grams a piece.
