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!

Lightness is hard to show in a picture, unless you have some pics of stock & Ti on scales

So that's 2.904 ounces vs. 1.64 ounces. Or 14.52 ounces vs. 8.2 ounces per wheel. Or 58.08 ounces vs. 32.8 ounces per vehicle (savings of 26 ounces or 1.625 pounds of unsprung/rotational weight per vehicle).

I wonder if that's quantifiable in a performance manner - can you see the difference on a dyno? Hm.

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.
