Default Titanium stud weight advantages

What kind of weight savings will I realize with titanium studs since they are also turning? I also want to replace some of the the big bolts on the car with titanium replacements. I am sure I could several pounds along with all the other weight saving mods I have.

being so close to the center of rotation, my guess is the money would be better spent elsewhere.

you could just lose 4 lbs off your body for free and use that money on something useful, like a hot date

Thats up to one pound per corner , I would think a person would not be very bright if he actually thought 4 lbs a corner.
