Lower Cost Titanium Lug Bolts

Lower Cost Titanium Lug Bolts
We bought a brand new CNC Swiss Screw Machine this year and we have been doing large machining runs of titanium for a customer. I decided to use this opportunity to make some lug bolts for the Porsche. We are able to offer incredibly low pricing because of the deal we get on Titanium at the volumes we are purchasing. We will use the factory style lug bolt with the floating ball seat just like Porsche uses.

They are light and still just as strong as the heavier steel ones. Most of the people that purchase these are buying them firstly for the look (the stock ones are usually corroded) and the weight is just an added benefit to them. Someone who is serious about racing and has invested quite a bit of money to make their car lighter is buying them for the weight.

These things are discounted to about the max that they can be discounted to already.

I ordered some of these for my Boxster and got them this past Friday in time for the weekend. My report:
- I researched the seller a bit before buying. They appear to be a reputable shop in CA.
- they're nicely made, in a nice box with cut-outs in the foam.
- I weighed five bolts, and my scale kept changing its mind. They appear to be around 320g or 11.2 oz for those who don't speak metric. My OE steel bolts were 473g and a smidgen over 1 lb. or 16.06 oz. That's about 1/3 lighter! And it's all unsprung weight. Therefore, theoretically, my car now accelerates faster, brakes better and handles like a go-cart.
- The bolts and seats are identical as far as I could tell to the OE, except of course, for the nicer finish and lighter weight.
- The bolts look great installed, and they won't get all nasty like the OE bolts do after a few years.
All in all, it's an expensive little farkle, but I'm happy with them. As I mentioned in an earlier post, you can spend more for these and you can spend less if you like to cheap substandard Chinese parts on your Porsche. I like that they were made in America, and I'm always willing to pay a premium for that.
