Silly, I know but relatively inexpensive on sale but I got a set of TI wheel bolts. The black OEM ones marr a little every time I swap the wheels and since I already have PCCBs and light weight forged wheels I figured a couple of oz less of unsprung weight won't hurt.
Not paying $600 either. Really just got them as Acer has them on sale for $240.
I have been using a set of Acer Titanium lug bolts for years now, they look brand new just like the day I bought them!
They held the price on these for years, but I see they too have gone up by about $100 over last year for the 'natural' colour version, non-Torx.
Got Covercraft Weathershield HP a few days ago. So far haven't even unboxed it, and I don't think I will any time soon. I ordered it two months ago, before my Spyder actually arrived, and I was certain all the cats around would sit on my roof - but that doesn't seem to be the case, at least not yet, so no need for a cover. It seems wrong returning a custom, built-to-order product like this cover, so I will just keep it, might be useful in the future.

What is their quality and reputation? I would also be interested, but I always have concerns about non-OEM parts in such critical areas. Does the torque have to be adjusted with regard to the different modulus of elasticity?

I bought these in May of 2017, and have been using them ever since, I use the Porsche recommended specifications for torque on the car they are installed on.
I've got a set as well and the only word of caution from my more track focused friends is to check torque spec a few times per year and before any track day. Likely good advice for anything keeping your wheels on.

Should be torquing anyway before any event and it is usually in the inspection.
That being said, I went to titanium studs on my last car and those things were loose a couple times even after following the proper torque values. So, I will never do studs again.
The Ninemeister and JCR ' Weissach' style tips are the same, flat metal sheet formed and cut to 'resemble' fins inside, definitely not the same as the OEM version...
