TiKORE titanium lugs bolts vs. OEM

TiKORE Tuesday, where a local 997.1 turbo Porsche customer showed up for his install of a matte titanium 2-piece Porsche TiKORE titanium lug bolt set.

The customer had an immaculate Porsche sporting a set of HRE wheels, however that were bolted on by a set of corroded OEM lugs that physically were seized to the wheels...and had to be replaced.

http://www.tikore.com/porsche/






TiKORE machines in house out of an aerospace certified grade 5 6AL-4V titanium. Certified means each batch of material is tested to ensure the mechanical properties are correct. Each lug is manufactured individually to strict tolerances and all threads are rolled not cut for superior strength and wear-resistance.





Now for the install photos.














...and we had to take some with the TiKORE 997.1 turbo shop car

I'm a huge fan of you lugs!
They compliment a nice vehicle like the Cayenne and 911 so well.

I'm so thrilled to have an ordered placed with you Charlie.
I have no doubt, my summer 911 Turbo II wheels will look phenomenal

Yes and no.
The Turbo II's i've had for a few years now.
But i did get my new summer tires delivered today - P Zero 295/35 R21 N1.
Truthfully, i've had good luck with Pirelli for over 7 years now on various vehicles.

Excuse me for asking, but if you put anti-seize on the lug threads, won't you be creating less resistance for torquing the lugs, essentially over tightening them?

I imagine tikore provides torque specs with whichever anti seize they recommend.

Thanks for replying to our thread. According to the Porsche service manual the threads should be lubricated. We are following the same OEM instructions and are using anti-seize as our lubricant. The clamping force remains the same, as we reccommend torquing the lugs by hand to OEM ft/lb settings.

Great pics in the flickr gallery! I sure love mine.
Unfortunately, i'm not going to install my new set until i take my winter set off.
Till then, i had to get my summers out and visualize how they'd look.
Cannot wait until spring...
