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.

This is what I'm running on my Turbo. Love the rust-free look!

 

Beautiful looking product. Is the two piece lug bolt "better" than the one piece? Why the choice? Which type is stock? Thanks for the special offer.

 

JCNPB,

The two piece set stays true to the OEM Porsche design. The thought process behind a two piece is that the seat is able to provide a perfect fit since it is floating. TiKORE design allows for the floating washer never to fall off during transfer to and from. With tall this being said most other brands use a one piece bolt.

SeattleBum,

Thanks for the shout-out. We are very glad to hear you are happy!

Hope all is well,
Joshua

 

What about those people (me included) that are running spacers, front and rear? I know we require longer bolts.

John

 

John, great question. We have no problem making special sets for use with spacers. If you are in need of this, please just contact me via PM or email (jmontagna@tikore.com) with the sizes needs for front and back. I will provide a quote. The increase is very small and normally just covers the increase in raw materials.

Regards
Joshua

SeattleBum, much thanks for those pictures. They pretty much sum up what we are trying to do.

Vividracing... many thanks. We love us some Vividracing pictures!

 

For anyone running spacers, TiKORE can manufacture special orders. Let us know if you require lengths over OEM.

Thanks
Joshua
