Titanium lug bolts
We are thinking about offering titanium lug bolts but we are trying to figure out if people would be willing to pay a premium for them. I would have to order a minimum of 1500 pieces so it is a rather large investment for us. I could probably sell them for $25.00 a piece which is far cheaper than I have ever seen them sold for. Usually they are in the $75.00 a piece range. At that price a set of 20 would cost $500.00. I already know about 5 people that I can put there names on them for so that would be 100 pieces but I would need to pre-sell more than that to make an investment this size.
If you would want a set and would be willing to make a 25% non-refundable deposit for them then add your name to the list. The deposit will be for $125.00 and I can have them about 4 weeks after we get to about 400 pieces which will be 20 cars and that seems feasible.

What is the net weight save per wheel? Also will they come in different sizes? Some of us are running spacers. Thanks.

They are only going to be available in the standard length for now. As for the weight savings I do not have an actual weight on them yet but they usually reduce the weight by about 70% which is very significant.

70%?? The max savings is 45% if they are identical. How do you get 70% weight savings?
