Default New Titanium wheel lugs


I bought a set of Titanium wheel lugs from Pelican last week, installed them yesterday. Pretty spiffy....

It’s a great upgrade for the 987 and 981’s. The original lugs are an eyesore and they’re not lightweight either, definitely a cost cutting measure by the Porsche bean counters. Titanium is a great upgrade, mine have held up very well over the past few years.

I'm considering them too. Mine are pretty bad but I may try to clean them up first with a steel brush and recoat with high temp silver paint for durability.

I thought about cleaning mine up and painting them but I also wanted to get rid of the wheel locks.

Where did you guys buy from? I see black bolts
here here
.

Black is $110 more than natural! Has anyone weighed these? Would be nice to be able to "mentally" justify the expense by shedding a pound or two!

Ive been fancying these for my Spyder. Probably go with the natural titanium colour with my black wheels. Black looks good as well though ..

The most bang for your bucks in getting rid of the ugly stock lug nuts.

I wasn’t concerned about weight. Although I imagine there is a small difference. It’s much more esoteric for me, the 10 year old bolts were beyond ugly.
I got mine from Pelican $290 for 20 bolts.

Lugs arrived in UK already and included a free Acer Tshirt. Great service , all emails answered quickly
Weight is about 65g so about 1/3 lighter than stock 987 lug

Can you weigh all 20 of them and let us know what the result is (without the T-shirt )?
