Default Lug nuts

Are these the only true real original lugnuts for the 996tt? They look like ****. Are there other versions?

Pelican parts has the Ti lug kit for $140, no security lugs though. They are light and stay clean and shiny and sure to make your car super fast

Bolts suck, use studs.

Popoggli ti lugs have served well excellent machining and finish and have maintained finish

Those are nice, not to many wheel bandits will be carrying around a torx driver that size.

Ive had these for years, god it's been awhile, I think I purchased these from someone on the board, or I may have got in a group buy. these are extremely light compared to the stock lugs and other ti lugs. direct weight off unsprung mass.

Thanks for the suggestion but what the hell is "popoggli"?!? Tried to Google it to no avail. Top result of the search is this thread.

The poggipolini lugs are the real deal, they could be holding the wheels on the space shuttle. Ti is pretty awesome, forged Ti is the shizzel.

I like the World Motorsports Ti lugs for their affordability they are shinny and stay that way and shave about 1Lb off of each wheel. I think i have taken approximately 10lb off each wheel (4 Lb OZ wheels, 5 Lb Brembo GT brakes, 1 Lb Ti lugs)

haha, it's not for everyone that's for sure. for the quality of the materials and the machining that's a bargain. it would cost you 4x that if you had someone make a set, at then at that point I would be wary of the integrity of the alloying, I believe these are forged mil spec grade 12 quality and tested. quality is not cheap.

Looks nice but seems a bit much. Studs are way easier and cheap.
