Man this is an old thread I know, but did anyone buy these titanium lug bolts?

I need to dress things up a bit now that I have basalt black wheels, and although not black at least these could offset some of the extra weight from the paint.

Anyone?

just get a set of the new porsche lug bolts with the reduced head size porsche has redesigned the new lugs for less unsprug weight. I bought a set awhile back and the handling is much improved. lol.

LOL, the weight comment was a joke

What I REALLY want are andonized black lugs, but it seems that they don't exist. Thought these would be cool.

Seems that the website that were selling them before is down.

I've used the Ti for over two years and they've been great. I tried to find a set for a friend a few months ago and couldn't -- maybe there wasn't enough interest.

Arling can still get them.
The bolts are more than they used to be due to the exchange rate and material costs.

Anodise Black is not a big problem now, it's rare, recently we made out this color, it is similar to the following ring of lug bolt, we supplied for mounting bikes, the same material with the Titanium Grade 5, so the colour will be the same. And this lug bolt is not difficult to produce, no need of mould, so the cost is low, small quantity can also be done. Such as the Poggipolini, only the surface is not as smoothly as the picture, our machine now can make max at ISO1302 N5.

I can help you. We have a considerable amount of their equipment coming to us.

Initially we will have the Ferrari titanium bolts then the Porsche items will follow.
