Carbon Fiber Wheel & TiKORE Partnership

TiKORE (TiKORE Industries - Titanium Lug Bolts and More), the leading manufacturer of precision titanium lug bolts and lug nuts has partnered up with the world's first single piece 100% carbon fiber wheel made by Carbon Revolution. After nearly a decade of research and development, Australian-based Carbon Revolution has taken the advantages of carbon fiber and exceeded all performance requirements and industry standards, to create and produce the world’s first one-piece carbon fiber wheel. With unparalleled weight savings and all associated benefits determined through its own testing regime, as well as with major premium OEMs throughout Europe, Carbon Revolution has set its trajectory on a global playing field and will be showcasing these efforts for the first time in the United States.





The entire wheel structure is molded as a single piece utilizing high end composite materials, built in sizes 19x8.5, 19x9.5, 19x10.5 and 19x12 designed to mount directly on Porsche 911’s, Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, and BMW E90/92 M3 & 1M. The wheels are compatible with factory tire pressure monitoring systems, accept factory center caps and come complete with all required installation hardware.

It is hard to ignore the stunning visual impact of a carbon fiber wheel but beyond the looks are significant performance benefits. . Carbon Revolution Wheels improve the performance of your car in many ways.




Carbon Revolution wheels are 40% -50% lighter than premium OEM equivalents. Bolting on a set of lightweight CR-9 wheels is equivalent to:

• Adding horse power to the engine (increased acceleration)
• Increasing the size of the brakes (shorter stopping distances)
• Fitting stickier tires (improved grip)
• Upgrading your suspension (steering and handling improvements)
• Adding more sound insulation to the vehicle (reduced road noise)
• Reduced vehicle mass (fuel savings)

The wheels are high tech works of art, and the performance advantages are second to none making them the best value modification for any vehicle. The materials and construction process used are of the highest quality and are new to the automotive market.

Superior Properties of Carbon Fiber:
- Impressive impact resistance
- Superior fatigue and durability
- excellent through life performance

Did you know that when properly designed and manufactured, carbon fiber composite materials have an almost infinite fatigue life?

People ask can our aftermarket titanium lug bolts handle the horsepower of extremely high performance vehicles?

To answer that question, we are proud to announce that TiKORE has become part of a Texas mile Porsche 996 twin turbo build by BBI Autopsort | Projekt King Kong | Carbon Revolution single piece carbon fiber wheels.

The car in order to qualify had to run above 200mph but below 220mph, so now they say it is time to turn up the boost!

Testing Carbon wheels + Ti lugs in the snow

Here are some shots taken of the Carbon Revolution team testing a 996 out in wintry conditions. The great benefit of carbon fiber wheels and titanium lug bolts is the resistance for corrosion!
