If ordering the bolts, be sure to check they are engraved. Mine came without engraving and I had to return them to Italy for engraving.

I was at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix yesterday and there were about 130 Porsches in the Porsche area. Rows and rows of cars and mine, being GT Silver, really blended in the with the crowd. I can't believe how much attention these wheels drew. Just about every time I looked over, somebody was checking them out. One thing to remember though, Pittsburgh is not the mecca of modded cars. No Champion 171s, HRE P40s or HRE P43s which I think are some of the nicest wheels out there.

Are the Ti bolts 100% safe to use even in 700hp Turbos?

I am not sure if there is an upper limit from the manufacturer. You may want to ask Ben at Wheels Boutique.

Aerospace Titanium Grade 5, (6AL4V) has the tensile strength of steel (130,000 psi).
You will have no problems with strength. It is also about 55% the weight of steel, depending on the alloy.
