I have another viable option that is $200.00 less from an American Company in Florida. In my opinion, they look even nicer than the standard bolt....


There are options folks and I would be willing to bet that competition will change somebody's pricing in the near future.
We all are not Baller's or Republicans - just say'n............

Hmmm, ^very interesting^! Did you happen to read all the way down the page? If not, see here... (it's at the bottom of their page)
"Note on installation: Titanium Wheel Bolts should be installed using hand tools, never use air tools to install Titanium Lug Bolts, anti-seize compound is recommended when installing any wheel bolts this will protect the threads on both sides. Please torque your wheel bolts at manufacturer`s specification and re-check from time to time."


Yes, that says "ANY WHEEL BOLTS"... so, explain WHY anti-seize or SS shouldn't be used for lug bolts? ** Please include Facts as opposed to declarations like "it was never meant for automotive use" I'm not trying to be snippy here, I've just never heard this assertion before, and honestly find it hard to believe.

I told you not to use Stainless Steel. I am not going to go any further than that. 'search' is your friend.


As for anti-seize............are you telling me you never use this on your regular Steel lugs???? Shame on you if you don't. That is Porsche common sense my friend

Here's another 'AMERICAN' Company that has the SAME exact Specs:


http://www.vertexauto.com/ShowItem/2...olt%20Set.aspx


Special Notes
Material:Titanium 6al4v GR5

- Made from 6al4v GR5 Grade 5 TiTANIUM material that has an excellent strength to weight ratio
- Product is made to very strict tolerances
- Precision manufacturing
- Almost half the weight of stock! Huge weight savings and greatly reduces unsprung weight from the wheels
- These are beautiful compared to stainless steel, Steel and Aluminum versions. Titanium will not rust and is more durable.
- Titanium is the best of the best, for people who want the absolute best!

Seriously? "I told you not to use Stainless Steel." That's your answer? Uh, ok dad... As for anti-seize, "are you telling me you never use this on your regular Steel lugs????" I never said any such thing - perhaps you should brush up on your reading comp. skills...

There are somethings a Father should never share with his son, son.


This is one of them. So get your butt up and clean your room!
That model of the 996 will never come to fruition unless you pass 2nd grade. Your teacher tells me that your Grammar, Comprehension and Spelling are at a new-born level!
