I believe the neo's are a finished aluminum/steel composite.... To date, the only other Ti lug in this price range is produced by blox but they only have 12x1.5's. Plus I always tend to sway towards smaller, personable, start up companies.

yes they are only coated I have a set but I just would think for non locking they arent worth the price..

the kiks also have ballbearings in them so the actual lug nut doesnt spin on the rim causing scratches, the head stays still and the lug nut spins inside of it to tighten down its pretty cool.

Cool. Not trying to point out any flaws or anything; I just don't often see fasteners that aren't forged.

Look great on with your set up, too!

And you have Ti wheel studs to go with this? Otherwise you're engaging Ti threads onto a steel wheel stud, which means there will probably be some corrosion issues to contend with.

There is a chance of galvanic corrosion hence the anodic index difference of the 2 metals is slightly higher than the norm... Having the car garaged def helps, but I don't think it'll be and issue since these won't remain on at all times, in addition to regular cleanings that I already perform. - I also have some r40's as back up... The only thing is that when running these, dissimilar metals tend to stick over time so a little anti-seize might have to be applied.
