Default 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

Do you have any pictures of them mounted up on a set of factory turbo rims … curious to see how the open end bolts would look ...

Avoid the concern, buy the closed lug nuts! I just did. (-:

^ the stock alloy ones are pretty light, I suspect not much of weight saving. But if you want something more durable, or you are already using steel ones for durability (i.e. frequent wheel removal/changing for track tires), these are probably a good alternative. (and you can keep the stock ones tucked away and shiny).

^^^^^^ This is why I went ahead and got them. Didn't wanna worry about the constant abuse they can take. It should be a set that last.

do you live with rusty steel nuts or do you have them coated with something?

OP - how deep are the closed ones, same or deeper than the stockers?
