Low Cost Titanium Lug Bolts
I am making titanium lug bolts for the Mercedes. We will have them available for the stock wheels (ball seat) as well as aftermarket wheels (conical seat).
The cost for a set of 20 lug bolts is $245.00 in the stock length. If we find a big demand for it we will also start building the lug bolts in extended lengths too so that we can accommodate spacers.
I am doing a run on our machine this weekend so I will have our first run of lug bolts ready to ship next week. If the demand is high and I sell the first run out I will quickly make more on the next weekend.
Please let me know if you would like to pre-order a set.

Nice !!!
Are the ones for the MB application going to also feature the "caved in" bolt head top design as those above ???
I assume that's for further weight savings but it can become a dirt trap, would prefer a solid/flat head design.
P.S.
Also do you know if the titanium material used complies or meets/exceeds OEM wheel lug specifications ??? if not there could be all manner of problems associated with installing them.

We have found that the titanium is 40% lighter than the steel ones.
I think the biggest reason that people buy them is for the look and the fact that they don't corrode.
The biggest reason that people do not buy them is the price, most people are charging $750.00 a set so coming in at $245.00 a set makes these a much more attractive part.

Since this is my first car with black wheels, I must also look around to see how the color contrast would look. Hmmm

Well I'm interested. I looked into a set for my Porsche last year and decided to go another route due to the extra cost of its complexity. How soon would you be able to ship? Would there be any security lug options in the future?

Tikore's are a pretty penny.
I'm interested if you guys decide to make the extended versions to accommodate spacers. Also, are you guys looking at building a flat head version? I agree with an earlier poster, these could be a dirt trap. They look great either way.

Sorry to be a pest, but as per earlier posting do you have any info on compliance for road use on these at all ??? as you get with some aftermarket wheel manufacturers.
This is very important for some of us where very strict rules apply to vehicles with these kind of modifications otherwise it will render the whole vehicle un-roadworthy and also totally void insurance cover, which is something nobody wants to have to deal with I'm sure.
I'm very interested in this item, but only if it has certified compliance for road use TIA.
