Thanks. I found the following interesting thread from 6speedonline. The weight saving was supposedly .8 lbs per wheel. BTW the posters were trying to get the price to come down from $550!
Really I don't think Gregg could resist these very very pretty
bolts.

Just spoke with the owner/exclusive US importer.
These are the same wheel bolts that HRE will be selling along side their new Competition wheel line. Very high quality. This manufacturer also supplies the Ferrari F1 Team.
He said the factory (in Italy) will be making a run of these bolts in a couple of weeks to be shipped in early March. The normal price is $550. He said if he received 5 or more orders he will discount by 10%. I think it's a bargain.
Lots of guys are spending $4500 on wheels and $1500 in tires per year compared to a one-time cost of $100 per wheel. These things look very cool and cut significant rotational mass.
Just so we are clear. I am not arranging a group buy. If you want these bolts, call him yourself (John Murray 310-980-1912) and be prepared to pay the full $550 if we don't get more than 5. He said he doesn't need any cash up front; just call him with your commitment. Wait till Monday (7 Feb) when he gets back to LA. When I called him, he was in North Carolina consulting to some NASCAR teams. I have already placed my order at full price.

Poggipolini spend most of their time dealing with Ferrari and other F1 teams. Their credentials and reputation are beyond impeccable.
