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

Do they come in black?

I have been working on a solution for black but we have not come up with a coating that we are happy with yet. We believe we have found a solution but we are about 2 months from a sellable product right now.

Are these nitrated or coated to deal with galling? Not a particularly ideal application for Ti...

Staff@WORLD

They are not coated at all but we do use grade 5 titanium which is a very high strength titanium alloy and we have not had any galling issues. We use a different grade of titanium which is pure titanium for some medical screws that we make and that grade wouldn't be ideal for lug nuts and they would gall if used for this application.

please, what is 'galling' of titanium...?

I'll be purchasing a set of these when I get my new pair of rims. $260 is a great deal considering most retail for $500-700. Tikore has an open design set for $599 0_o $260 sounds great to me!

For any club racing you have to have steel lugs because you want a ductile fastener. The issue of galling is the nut welding itself to the steel stud and ripping the steel threads off.

Also Ti and steel are far apart on the anodic scale, the Ti will actually corrode the steel stud if water is present. Sounds cool and all the tuner crowd are into it but for the $$$ and problems for a few ounces, not a great idea...

Staff@WORLD

The anodic scale is for to measure galvanic corrosion for electrically charged metals. In which you are 100% right if this was the use. Steel is an adonic material so it is the most easy material to corrode and titanium is a cathodic material so it is the hardest material to corrode. If we were electrically charging the materials without any coatings the steel would corrode and the titanium would be safe. I don't think we have to worry about the anodic scale since we are not using the materials for this purpose and that is the only reason this scale exists.

J richard

Not the way that works....

When you have a cathode (Ti), an anode (steel) and an electrolyte (moisture) you have galvanic action.

Don't get me wrong if you sell these great but if you've only been doing it for a couple of months you're going to get some pretty pissed off customers that are breaking off studs on some pretty expensive hubs. You should at least put a disclaimer on it. There is history to learn from...

did send a email to you for further info but apparently I do not get access to the mailbox .
Could you check if it did arrive and reply to secondhand@telenet.be
Thx

Staff@WORLD

I didn't receive an email from you if you are writing that for me.

Think I should not have been day dreaming about driving a 911 in my college Chem and thermo Chem classes.
