TiKORE Titanium Security Bolts
Hey everyone, we are new site sponsors and wanted to introduce ourselves. TiKORE Industries (pronounced Tie-Core) was established in 2010 to serve the needs of the aftermarket automotive industry. TiKORE designs, engineers, and manufactures titanium and other alloy products at its headquarters located in Fort Lauderdale, FL (USA). We offer titanium lug bolts (security and none security) and titanium lug nuts for all brands of vehicles (custom sets as well for those folks running spacers). Please note we roll all of our threads, manufacture the bolts in house and all of our titanium bolts are crafted from grade 5 certified titanium bar stock. Weight savings, titanium is approx. 45% lighter than steel components. 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. TiKORE Engineering note, we made sure the security bolt and the regular bolt weigh the same. Titanium Facts Grade 5 6AL-4V Titanium (Tikore's preferred material) Yield Strength: 128,000psi Ultimate Tensile Strength: 138,000psi Shear Strength: 79,800psi Density: .160 lb/in^3 Regards, Joshua |
For anyone running spacers, TiKORE can manufacture special orders. Let us know if you require lengths over OEM.
Thanks Joshua |

Very nice indeed! Those bolts are a thing of beauty!
Not many times you see bolts and beauty in the same phrase...:D |
Since this is often a technical forum I have to ask, what is the rationale behind using 6/4 Ti versus 3/2.5. I, but perhaps not others, know the properties of each; I'm just curious if the stresses on the bolts warrant 6/4 or if you prefer the slight weight savings, or maybe you just have a really good arrangement for obtaining 6/4 ingots. Whatever the case, I agree with the above, they are beautiful and sadly I couldn't use them even if you gave them to me (CL wheels)!

Here is a link that shows the comparison between the grade 5 titanium and other alloys: http://tikore.com/titanium_facts.htm To answer the questions regarding the 3/2.5 or grade 9. Its mechanical/strength properties are about half that of grade 5. In the case of lug bolts, we prefer the higher factor of safety. Keep the great questions coming!! |

Reminds me of a QA course I struggled with in grad school. There was a kid in the class who asked questions routinely that not only didn't I understand (that was bad enough) but in a thousand years I wouldn't have known to ask.:eek: Made me question my very existence (or at least my chances of ever passing that course with the B I needed to get my MBA). Bottom line....massive curve...I got the B I needed! Always hated that kid though!;) Hope all is well with you my friend! Best, Tom |

There must be a direct correlation between the number of your posts and your inventory levels.
|
I will say they look lovely, but $650 for lug bolts that save 1lb is nutty to me personally.
|
OMG! I was seriously looking at these for my '10 4S with 19" turbo wheels but $650 is well beyond what I am willing to spend for lug bolts. They are beautiful no doubt. But my wife would kill and gut me for that....
