MotorKlasse JDM titanium lug nuts
I got a set of these titanium lug nuts from MotorKlasse, an S2ki.com sponsor.
The product is listed here:

My first impression? These things are light as hell. I'd wager 1 of these is about as heavy as a quarter. So for those looking to shave every pound of weight they can, they can do so with these. Not to mention it is rotating mass as well, so the effect is greater than the actual weight saved. Granted it's not a massive difference, but again, for those looking for every pound, these can help.
They also fit both my OEM wheels, as well as my aftermarket Motegi rims. From the looks of it, they would also fit aftermarket/longer wheel studs. The look is nice as well, and the titanium look/color matches the feel of the car. I also understand they will hold up better than my stock lug nuts, considering I drive year round. My stock lug nuts look dirty, dingy, and even a little rust on them. So these are a welcome replacement anyways. Particularly for the assault of salt my car sees from Wisconsin winter roads.
From what i've researched, this "roll forming" method they use to manufacture them makes them stronger and more durable. That combined with the titanium material I think makes them fairly indestructable.
Lastly, if you want that JDM bling, hehe, it's another touch you can add to the car. On top of that, I found out in my searching that this company actually supplies the titanium wheel nut for a major Formula 1 racing team.
The company itself has good communication, quick shipping, and a willingness to answer questions. The user for the company on s2ki.com is jwkim. They also offer a pretty good deal and competitive pricing on the 4.44 and 4.77 gearsets for the S2000. They also offer the driveshaft spacer to prevent the stretching of the driveshaft from lowering your S2000.
