This set does save a little over 1lb and please remember, the OEM bolts have aluminum washers, TiKORE bolts are 100% Titanium.

Please tell me the correct part number for the 2 piece design (close to OEM) for my black wheels. The titanium finish should stand out nicely.

What performance increase should I expect from titanium wheel bolts?

Does the torque spec for the lugs change? The titanium is harder to stretch than steel, correct?

OMG! a tube of anti-seize...put me down for a dozen sets I dont want the fun to ever stop.

All joking aside, TiKORE stated material spec are are indicative of high grade automotive Ti; with a competitive price point.

Joshua,
Are TiKORE fastener threads cut, ground or rolled? What class are the threads stated to adhere to?

If you cant drop 5 sec a lap, there's something wrong with you!

You're joking right? There is no hp or torque performance increase. There are advantages in less unsprung weight, and a reduced moment of inertia.

Perhaps I phrased my question incorrectly... I also ride superbikes, and when equipped with carbon fibre or magnesium wheels, the bike feels like a total different machine which is not only faster (even when compared against bikes with engine mods), but handles better and even brakes over a shorter distance.

Granted, these are only the bolts, and they will not be grouped with ultra lightweight wheels or lightweight PCCB brake rotors for the most of us (or for at least me) but I was just trying to see if I could justify the over $700 price tag for them. Will I even notice the lower weight? (I am aware that the amount perceived will be dramatically less than that on my motorcycle).
