Bargain of the century considering what Aston sell them for. Unfortunately I have a set and paid a little more.

The proper ones; yes. Are those the proper ones... I don't know.

I paid £225 for my set and that was a 'bargain'.

Oh please.

200g unsprung mass saving leading to an improvement in handling?
On a 1600Kg car?

Would sir like some jenyouwine snake oil to go with that?
Nitrogen in your tyres?

From the wording, they don't sound like AM-supplied.

If you have hundreds to waste on Ti wheelnuts, you would do much better spending it on some trackday (or advanced road driving) instruction. Will have much more of an effect on your handling/control than any amount of titanium or carbon!

I brought mine because when I changed my wheels to sports pack the original nuts came out a long way and they looked crap as the color was to shiny. they do tidy up the appearance.

It aint about the difference of feeling, but one on mine has been slightly blemished (no idea how), so instead of buying a new one at the stealers, i might as well buy this complete set. I wont be interested if they are not genuine parts.

OR people could just do what they want to do with their money and you could stop whining? Just a thought smile

I like my Ti wheelnuts, they look and feel ace. Do they alter dynamic performance, not noticably no. Do I care? Again, no.
