Default Porsche Titanium Lug Nuts for air-cooled cars

We have been making titanium lug bolts for the water-cooled Porsches for a little over 5 months. The response has been incredible and we have enjoyed great sales. Our sales growth has been the result of our aggressive pricing, the quality of our product, our incredible free shipping program and our customer service.

We have had a lot of inquiries to make lug nuts for the air-cooled cars so we now have them. Just like with our water-cooled bolts, we have copied the Porsche part exactly with the only difference being the material. We have noticed that many Porsche owners are using titanium nuts that have a conical seat, this is not the correct lug nut for a Porsche but it is themes common nut available because it does fit a wider variety of cars. We have made our nuts exactly like the factory Porsche part with the correct radius seat that the Porsche uses.

We make both the open style lug nut as well as the closed style lug nut. The advantages of the open style lug nut is that they are 40% lighter than the factory lug nut. The closed style factory lug nut is made of aluminum so it is already extremely light but the titanium lugs that we offer are also extremely light and do not get malformed like the aluminum ones from Porsche.


PRICE- $260.00 for a set of 20 with FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING

As of right now we have not found a solution to make them black that we are happy with, we have tried many different methods. We may be onto something but we are about 2 months away from a sellable product.

Why is there a difference for air vs water cooled?

Water-cooled cars use bolts and the air-cooled cars use nuts. The diameter and thread pitch is the same for both though.

I will be on board to buy a set if they are black. Maybe superficial but it sounds right.

Curious how these hold up. Any discoloration over time or do they pretty much look the same over time?

Also what is the weight of the closed ones vs the aluminum? Any advantage to buying multiple sets?

I read "water cooled" and still think 944 and 928 (plus the few 5 lug 924s)......... Which do use the same nuts as the air cooleds, save for a 914/4.

We will eventually have them when we find a solution that we are 100% happy with.

These do not discolor over time and they will maintain the great look that they have.

What is the strength of these relative to the factory steel nuts? I believe that the factory alu nuts were not recommended for track work. Where do these fit in relative to those two options?

How is the durability when used with an impact wrench? How soft is the ti versus steel?

What is the actual weight savings versus the open steel lug nuts?

Thanks,
Pete
