Would you venture out far for a set of these wheel caps?

I would like a set as cufflinks.

I'm just humored that guys will spend upwards of $400 to obtain lightweight titanium wheels bolts, and then not think/consider about adding weight with a billet center cap.
So, the smart person will buy both for $800 and be net-net even.

The HRE aluminum caps weigh nearly nothing. Seeing the "additional weight" is right in the center point of the wheel, might not make your car slower The caps are very close to weight of the plastic ones. Now the bolts, there's a HUGE difference there.
Titanium bolts and aluminum center caps
In reality, the gas station you fill up at and humidity outside have a bigger impact than any of these things. Not to mention, cruising around town makes ZERO difference on any of this. It's all bling.
adding a faux aluminum looking gas cap is the frosting on the cake.

Beautiful jewelry for the guy who has everything. They look to be very well made. I personally find myself able to live without them, but if I actually wanted some I'd not let the extra weight (centered on the wheel's rotation no less) deter me.
I wear a titanium Tutima Commando II chronograph with the heavy (but marvelous) Lemania 5100 movement some of the time, and often when I'm riding my bicycle. My plastic Timex Ironman-wearing friend chides me for wearing this heavy watch when I'm trying to go fast. I just shrug. I think center-cap weights are analogous to that.
