Suspension I got directly from MPP and had a local mechanic install it for me. The Titan7's I ordered from European Autosource - lots of different vendors available or direct from Titan7 - it's really rare to find discounts with them.
That is the problem I am having right now, no discounts to push me over the edge. I love the Martian wheels, the Titan 7 wheels, and VMR wheels. The T Sportline Falcon wheels are also ok, but way more expensive than the rest, and are heavier. The first to get back to me with a good deal gets my business LOL.
FWIW I have had good luck with Titan 7. Their wheels are nice and not priced to break the bank.
Honestly...weight with these EVs don't matter much - at least not from my understanding of impacts on acceleration or efficiency. The design of the wheel and size/compound/design of the tire has a much greater impact.

Unsprung weight is definitely a factor. I saw a test with lighter rims that change the 0-60 time from 3.2 to 2.9. All the rims mentioned are still way lighter than stock, so all is good, I just wont pay a premium for a rim that is heavier that is all. By the way, your titans are super light, good choice.
The Titan7s are light by a lot compared to Tesla's 20" (non-track pack), and are one of the forged wheels which more reasonably priced. Unfortunately some (not all) of the weight was regained in the tire I picked (but also because of the staggered fitment). Efficiency at highway speeds is also drastically reduced as a result of the much more open wheel design, greater offset in the rear, and rolling resistance of the 275mm width rear tires. It doesn't help/hurt 0-60 in my testing; in stock form, grip was never an issue, so you'd need to drop a significant amount of unsprung weight to realize a measurable benefit imo. I've seen it done online, as you've pointed out, I'm just looking at a bigger picture.
