When you are spending big bucks on your wheels, you usually want to get wheel locks. But they are bulky, ugly, and who really parks their Porsche or Ferrari in a place that gets jacked! So when your looking to further the style of your HRE Wheels for example, you want to pick up a set of these TiKore Titanium Lug Bolts. TiKore has products available for the Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, and Corvette C6. Vivid Racing received a set of the 2 piece titanium lugs for our Project 997TT. The 2 piece ball seat lug is identical to the OEM lug except in, well you guessed it, Titanium! So why 2 piece? The 2 piece allows the ball seat to fit perfectly in the wheel bolt hole so when you are torquing the bolts, you are apply pressure to the ball seat for a flat and perfect fit. All 20 lugs as we weighed were 1lb lighter then the stock lugs and wheel locks. In comparison to the only competitor we know of, Poggipolini, the TiKore lugs earn the A grade as well. The biggest difference is that the Poggipolini use a provided lug spline key for extra security where the TiKore use a standard 19mm socket. The Poggipolini is also a 2pc bolt, but uses a delrin piece to sit in the ball seat. At a 1/4 of the retail price of Poggipolini, your wallet wont hurt. If your looking to set your wheels off a touch and put a piece of pure automotive jewelry on your P Car, then TiKore's Titanium Lug Bolts are for you!

We run titanium lugs on our race car. Very simple weight savings.

 

1lb lighter per lug nut or for the whole set?

 

I'm pretty sure it's for the set. I doubt even 1 lug is 1lb on its own.

 

very true!

 

can you PM me price? I got spacers on mine, need longer lugs for front and back. thanks,

 

OMG! I thought cars with No torque where the only ones worried about loosing weight at the Lug nuts! The s2k forum has as many threads about lugnuts as this forum has about "The Best Exhaust"

 

The weight savings may not be great, but the bolts sure are nice looking.
Titanium has equal strength to steel but weighs roughly 55% as much.

Another big advantage of titanium is the amazing resistance to corrosion.

Back in the 1980s, the Russians built entire nuclear submarines from titanium, and didn't even bother to paint them.

Good luck with the new product.

 

Tech1 Mike - That is something I would never thought I would learn. I am now going to share it in the office LOL.

 

Geez, Vivid's car might be the most "slammed" TT i've ever seen.

 

Gap is only for teeth and well, you know

 

$600 for bolts? Thought you said they dont hurt the bank lol

 

look here and then consider what hurts - http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/p...e-p-29403.html

 

I am a big fan of the Poggipolini product and they are worth the money so these have to be even better. If my car was not for sale, Dan would have my business.

 

thanks!
