No strength advantage so I guess it's all we it advantage. How much in grams are these babies liter than the oems? Well titanium also does not rust... Now my question is titanium bolts or cbi hid bulbs???

Titanium lugs should weigh about 1 lb less than stock for all the lugs which isn't much really. Only real advantage is that they look good, won't rust and they have equal strength.

OEM rust pretty extensively and show wear. These would be great if you are switching wheels frequently.

Website says 'in stock'. Thought these were in the process of being designed.

At that price point, they could be great but there's no way I'm putting them on a car without some proper testing. Let us know the pertinent details when you've finalized everything. Definite interest though.

Stainless is commonly used for wheel bolts and is aesthetically appealing; there must be a chart that compares the strength of these materials?

Any chance for security bolts?

Those are some sexy CAD machined pieces. Very nicely done. I'm rarely impressed.
WOW.

What's with all the security/lock questions? Who steals wheels any more. They take the whole car?
Where does one keep the key to the wheel lock? In the safe at home? Unlikely. Most keep it in the glove box or frunk. Perps would just smash the window.
Making more of a mess and cost. Then pop or crowbar the frunk to look there. First thing I take off when I get a new car to me...

Here's a not asked question. What about a titanium wheel spacer?

There are a few sets left from what I did last weekend. I am going to get back on the machine on the last weekend in August to make some more because demand seems to be higher than I expected.

You can order them on this link.-

Ditto, I also ordered a set, looking forward to the upgrade (the stock bolts look hideous when they start to corrode/rust).
