Nice, do you mind weighing the OEM and the Ti for comparison?

In regards to our Porsche bolts the weight savings are slightly different as Porsche uses an aluminum ball seat, thus lighter weight in that area, but risk of wearing down the seat and oxidization of the aluminum. These bolts offer weight savings and an escape from the weathering that we all see from Porsche lug bolts.

The weight of the factory Porsche set is 4.11 lbs. The weight of the TiKORE set is 3.00 lbs.

Picture Perfect Post! This is exactly what TiKORE is trying to portray with our precision engineering and craftsmanship. Do you have any pictures of the entire vehicle?!

Glad you enjoy sir!

Wow Brian -- looks phenomenal. Any thoughts of putting the Porsche center caps on instead of the ADV.1?

Let's try to keep this thread focused on Tikore's beautiful products. I started another thread for wheel discussion: Click for Wheel Thread

But to answer your question... I thought about it, but:

1) I'm not certain if these center caps are the same diameter as the Porsche caps.

2) These wheels and center caps are powder coated. The Porsche caps are plastic and getting them powder coated to match this finish exactly would be tough.

3) The Porsche caps are slightly concave, which I don't think it ideal for this wheel.

I do have plain ADV center caps arriving any day. The ones on there now were custom done to fill the letters in white and match the car. We will see which I prefer.

why not make them all 5 sided to create full security and lack of needing two sockets?

Our specialty socket (security lug key) is designed with the same 19mm hex head as the rest of our standard lug bolts. Only one 19mm socket needed for install

Matte Titanium 2-piece Porsche lug bolts. These are a direct OEM replacement for your corroded lugs and are the ultimate upgrade with your aftermarket wheels!
