Default Katech Titanium 12x1.5mm 12pt lug nuts. Finally, an affordable, quality Ti lug nut!



In the past, racers and weight nuts have paid up to $500 for titanium lug nuts. We are now offering these high quality pieces at a very affordable price of $6.99 each.

What is the weight savings with these, and is there any hope of them being available in black in the future? Thanks.

Looks cool. It says each lug nut is 16 grams, does anyone know how much factory lugs weigh? Any pics installed on a vehicle yet?

You will probably save around 5 ounces per wheel.
