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.
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
would be interested in a price for a set for a 991S if you PM me.. Scanned your website, but I wasn't quite clear on which ones were applicable as I saw a two piece as well...

Check out this write up featuring Underwraps Automotive slammed Porsche 981 sitting on Rotiform wheels with TiKORE titanium lugs to bring the package together!
From the title I was hoping to learn more than just how much prettier these bolts are...can you give us a comparison of the tensile strength and weight of Tikore versus stock bolts?

Shawn,
Thanks for replying to our thread here.
The weight of the factory set is 4.11 lbs.
The weight of the TiKORE set is 3.00 lbs.
Please note the factory set features 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.
Additional note: Grade 5 Titanium has an extremely high resistance to corrosion.
As presented above, titanium bolts/nuts have a strength that is very comparable to grade 8 steel bolts/nuts that are used in high strength applications.
*Custom lengths over OEM available for those using wheel spacers. Please provide us the spacer sizes and we will accommodate the bolt to the dimensions needed. Price increase is small and normally just covers the cost of raw material used.
I would be interested in a quote on a set for my Cayman S with Niche Misano Monotec T61 Forged wheels with Titanium finish. They used black bolts and the titanium would look better. Thanks.
