TiKORE Titanium Lugs
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.

Visual of the weight savings of TiKORE lug nuts compared to NISSAN OEM.

Nissan OEM Lug Nut = 2.245oz
Set of Nissan OEM Lug Nuts = 2.80lbs

TiKORE Closed-End Lugs Nut = 1.045oz
Set of Closed-End Lug Nuts = 1.30lbs (54% lighter than Nissan OEM)

TiKORE Open-End Lug Nut = .955oz
Set of Open-End Lug Nuts = 1.19lbs (57.5% lighter than Nissan OEM)

With our Titanium Closed-End Lug Nuts you are saving 1.5 lbs, while maintaining equivalent strength to grade 8 steel. You are reducing unsprung weight from the vehicle which when someone is focusing on reducing weight, this is a good start.

Nice!!!!
