At this time we do not offer a locking solution. At some point in the future we will, at an additional cost. We do not many of the options out there, as of right now, if someone wants your wheels they ar going to get them. We hope to offer a real solution.

Question for everyone. If you could have any color on these bolts, what would you prefer? Or would you keep the titanium machined finish?

R40's aren't titanium... and as far as I know, Project Kics doesn't make anything with a ball seat.

Sorry but you paid $150 for something that was not titanium, nor is that possible. Please try to confirm you facts before posting. These lug bolts are not for everyone. They are for people that want the best, at a great price.

Yes we could get that set made for you. If you don't want the shine from the machined titanium, we would glass bead blast them, giving them a similar look to our corvette lug nuts on our website. Please let me know. Thanks

None fast enough!
This is VERY good pricing. We have sold other brands for as much as $1800/set based on our pricing from Italy.
These look to be great value. Yes, they are not for everyone though!
Thanks
Brad

Brand New TiKORE Titanium Lug Bolts for Mercedes (set of 20). These bolts are made in the USA (not china like our competitors) and made from 100% aerospace certified material. The listed price is way below our competitors. All of our threads are rolled not cut.
New low price of $450 + $15 for shipping!
Please verify measurements and seat type of your bolt before purchase.
Measurements: M14 x 1.5, conical seat, 27MM thread length.
Measurements: M12 x 1.5, conical seat, 27MM thread length.
We will accommodate custom lengths due to spacers, please inquiry to provide details of your needs.
FYI - We are a new sponsor on MBWorld!! We are very excited.
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
Additional note: Grade 5 Titanium will not rust.
As presented above, titanium bolts/nuts have a strength that is very comparable to grade 8 steel bolts/nuts that are used in high strength applications. Furthermore, based on the density figure above grade 5 titanium is 45% lighter than steel components.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or visit our site www.TiKORE.com. Thanks!

Wanted to follow up on this. Do you think it'll be sometime in the next few months or this year maybe for this locking solution?
Thanks

I honestly am not sure, but I would towards the end of this year. Right now demand is strong and like I mentioned current locking bolts don't really make me feel to safe still. We want to come up with something better. With that being said it will be a while. Thanks, Josh

We can also do most other colors needed. Please let us know if you need a custom set with custom color. We can machine to your specs.
Also, for the people out there that are unaware. The cost of just the titanium alone is approx. $200, then you have tooling, precision machines, costs to run a business etc. If you want titanium, at a high quality, this price is more than great.
Thanks to everyone that has provided great questions and comments. To the others..... yup.

Are you suppose to not use impact tools as well on these? If you have the money, buy them, if not, don't ***** about them. At least a company is offering stuff for our cars!
