Any specific reason why you are looking at them other than price? They are the cheapest I have ever seen, too (usually I see sets for ~$200).

The oem Porsche are magnesium which are about half the weight of titanium, so why change?

None of those are correct. The 944 lug nuts are convex interfaces.
