Wheel nut weight difference

Hi.. i just bought titanium M14 wheel nuts for my legend..
I had to change the oem M14 22 key size with steel M14. 19key size becuase of the hole in the new wheels beeing too small for the oem nut.. sorry for a 22 hex key to fit in the hole
So i decided to share the weight difference between the bolts.. for my amazment the KB1 wheel nuts are totaly different than the oem KB2 nuts and kb2 are lighter.. kb1's have a washer on then too.
Any way enjoy and i trimmed around 1lb in wheel nuts alone.. for your info i was also amazed on the wheel and tire difference between the oem 18" wheels with winter tires to the summer 245/35-20" set..its almost 2kg lighter or maybe 4 and somting lb per wheel/tire.. so 16 or maybe 17lb less rotating mass from oem 18" to 20"





19hex M14 titanium








19hex M14 steel




22hex M14 kb2 steel





22hex M14 kb1 steel





17hex M12 for.my s20000 titanium





Look with the 19 hex M14 steel





New look withthe titanium M14 19hex

Just making sure, you know all of those lug nuts are not interchangeable with each other, right? You have three different lug seat styles, (conical, ball and mag seat). The OEM wheels should only be used with the matching OEM lugs and the aftermarket wheels should only be used with the conical seat aftermarket wheels....
