I think the Poggipolini are much nicer. They are more secure, engraved with Porsche, and a much nicer color - not as shiny. I have them on my car.

I bought mine a few years ago directly from Poggipolini in Italy. I called them and the man I talked to was from Pennsylvania (small world.) I will say ordering from Italy was a PITA. If you order directly from them, be sure and specify the engraving as it is not standard. Mine came without the engraving and I had to send them back for engraving. Also available here:http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...olini&x=9&y=10 I have never dealt with these people but they seem to be highly respected on this forum.

I was just about to comment on how it would be nicer if they had alittle more flare to them. Those ones by Poggipolini look very nice and I bet expensive.

Am i missing something, what is so special about saving 1.5 lbs?? Is it because its on the wheel?? For this price I would spend it on lighter wheels and save 20 lbs of weight, wouldn't that be more of benefit? (not being a wise-***, i'm just a noobian)

Most likely someone spending this amount on bolts has already bought extremely lightweight rims. They most likely have also done some other weightsavings measures and there aren't a lot of options left.

Guys these lugs are an alternative to the only other brand being sold which were listed in this thread . They are 1/2 the price and lighter and stronger made in the USA . No special tool needed, made to oem specs and are grade 5 titanium doesn't get better .

Some upside to titanium bolts is they are lighter and stronger than steel bolts. The Poggipolini especially look great on any wheel.

Some downside to expensive titanium bolts is that if you ever plan to use spacers you'll need longer bolts and then you'll have these laying around collecting dust...like I do.

I love the Poggipolini (which I have) but the special tool required has proven to be a PITA when it comes time for tech inspection and the inspector can't check your bolt torque because you forgot to bring the tool.

Most of my stock steel bolts are showing rust spots. These titanium beauties will always look nice and rust-free.
