titanium wheel bolts
Does anyone know where to buy them?
I would imagine it's a not too expensive rotational weight saver?

I've seen them in person. And I believe they cost several to many (5?) hundred dollars for a set. Don't know where to get them. Maybe Carnewal?

I could easily make a set but sure as hell do not want the liability.

I'd be interested but I run BBS E88 and Mg RE's so they need to be about 54mm. pm me with weights and lengths.

While they look quite nice titanium bolts might not be that great a place to save 3.2 lbs (total). Titanium isn't as malleable as steel and have a tendency to fracture. It's not high up on the ductility properties. The weight savings is so minor it's not worth the increased risk.
