I did swap my factory lug bolts with titanium ones that helped lower unsprung mass.
Where did you get your lug bolts? Acer? Do you know specs offhand? Surprised BMW did not put titanium bolts on i8.

Thanks, I am an unsprung weight reduction junkie...

And if anyone knows a source to get the stock all black 516 rims I would be most thankful. Or BBS FI-R.

My recommendation is Michelin Pilot sport 4S, unless a) you want stock size, or b) live in NW or other rainy place; in which cases I suggest the Pirelli P-Zero.

My choice for now is Michelin PS 4S 20 235/40 and 265/35
