Unfortunately for cars that see a lot of track time, we do not recommend Titanium studs. As lug bolts and studs/nuts are wear items, we also recommend replacing these items every year or 2 depending on the amount of track usage.
Additionally, you have to be careful not to drag your wheels across the studs too much during frequent changes.
We see no problems with winter usage, especially when you consider that Titanium is more corrosion resistant than steel. Granted in Northern states that use salt, we also recommend washing your car throughout the winter to remove salt from any surface of the vehicle.

I don't have this data on hand, but will look into it for you. I will say the stud and nut combo is almost shockingly light compared to steel counterparts if you've never dealt with Titanium before.
