Titanic Sale on Titanium! New Sponsor Intro - TiKORE

Hey everyone, we at TiKORE Industries are excited about our new Rennlist sponsorship. We have decided to make our intro by presenting an excellent group buy to members. First a little background on TiKORE.

TiKORE Industries (pronounced Tie-Core) was established in 2010 to serve the needs of the aftermarket automotive industry. TiKORE designs, engineers, and manufactures titanium and other alloy products at its headquarters located in Fort Lauderdale, FL (USA).

We offer titanium lug bolts and lug nuts for all brands of vehicles (custom sets as well for those folks running spacers). For Porsche we offer a two piece bolt similar to the factory bolt (without all the rust and wear) and a one piece bolt similar to many other lug bolts.

Our standard pricing is $599 for the two piece set and $499 for the one piece set. This is more than half the price of quality competitors. Please note we roll all of our threads, manufacture the bolts in house and all of our titanium bolts are crafted from grade 5 certified titanium bar stock.

We are going to offer the group buy at 2 levels:

Level 1 at the start of the group buy – Free Shipping in the USA
2 piece set = $540
(Click here to purchase)


1 piece set = $440
(Click here to purchase)

Level 2 will commence after 15 purchases – Free Shipping in the USA
2 piece set = $520
1 piece set = $420
*Refunds will be provided once level 2 is reached.

This will last until April 30th. With the insane increase in titanium costs, this is an absolute amazing price for quality TI bolts.

Group Buy List
1) EKAM
2) PorscheMeshMax - 2 piece
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)

And now for a first… we are going to offer the buyer the ability to have one-of-a-kind bolts. For $20 we can laser etch up to 3 characters on the face of 4 bolts. This will allow for a person’s initials, etc.

As we all know Porsche makes a beautiful automobile, but for some reason they offer very cheap lug bolts. We understand these bolts are not for everyone, but then again… maybe a Porsche isn’t either.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Yes we do make lug nuts for cars running studs. We make both open ended and extended close ended. Would just need to know the specs of your studs.

Thanks

Welcome Joshua - what is the purpose of the two piece vs one piece design? Any reason not to save $100 and order the one piece?

The two piece design is modeled after the OEM style. It promotes a perfect fit since the ball seat is able to settle in just right. With that being said, almost all other lug bolts are 1 piece, so one would think you would be just fine.

We do find that Porsche folks like to stay with the OEM. This is our top selling item.

Now for the important stuff....whats the weight drop over OEM 2-piece set?

Not important stuff- do you offer burnt finish? (gold, blue, purple etc) =)

Price is right, and they look great!

The weight of the average factory set is 4.11 lbs.
The weight of the TiKORE set is 3.07 lbs.

On average you will see a 25% to 30% weight savings, depending on which model Porsche you have.

Also in regards to the titanium:
Grade 5 6AL-4V Titanium (Tikore's preferred material):
Yield Strength: 128,000psi
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 138,000psi
Shear Strength: 79,800psi
Density: .160 lb/in^3


We currently are not offering colors. We offer the raw titanium shine (top seller) and a matte finished titanium.

Thanks
Joshua

Welcome. I'm a 911 newbie. Explain again the difference and why I would want the 2 piece over the one piece? Also, my OEM lugs are matte black to match the black fuchs I guess. Thanks.

Any special lubricant needed to prevent galling with the steel hubs?

As mentioned above "The two piece design is modeled after the OEM style. It promotes a perfect fit since the ball seat is able to settle in just right. With that being said, almost all other lug bolts are 1 piece, so one would think you would be just fine."

Basically, the 2 piece has a ball seat that is seperate from the bolt itself as seen in our pictures, when this ball seat is settled into the rim to secure, one could expect a 100% perfect fit as it would be able to settle in slightly differnt then a solid bolt. With that being said, most other cars use a 1 piece design. You are fine with the 1 piece design it just isnt OEM.

Thank you
Joshua

We recommend using anti seize. Just a little dab on the threads. We have never had one issue of galling though.

And for the fun of it, first 10 folks to order will get a tube of anti seize from us.
