Lightweight titanium lugnuts for your Corvette for both track or street. Extra long for deep bolt holes of custom rims. Lightweight for reducing rotating mass equals faster lap times.

A must for trackday cars.


Comparison of Grade 5 & 8 Steel vs 7075 Aluminum vs Grade 5 Titanium

Grade 5 Alloy Steel (commonly used on automobiles for lug nut and lug bolt applications)
Yield Strength: 92,000psi
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 120,000psi
Shear Strength: 72,000psi
Density: .284 lb/in^3

Grade 8 Alloy Steel (used for lug nuts and lug bolts in high strength applications):
Yield Strength: 130,000 psi
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 150,000psi
Shear Strength: 90,000psi
Density: .284 lb/in^3

7075 Aluminum (used on various automobiles for lug nut and lug bolt applications):
Yield Strength: 73,000psi
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 83,000psi
Shear Strength: 48,000psi
Density: .102 lb/in^3

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.

Wow, thats a pretty steep price for lug nuts. I am going to go out on a limb here and say these are not going to be big sellers.

That's actually a good price for Ti lug nuts. It's moments like this that make me realize there is no end to what I can spend on my Z06.!

NJLS708

A good price? While it may be a good price for the Ti itself it is hardly a worthy mod considering I have never heard of a lug nut failure myself and the weight savings would be absolutely minimal.

ya think...

Porsche has used aluminum lug nuts since the 70's. They are light as a feather. Never heard of Ti lugs though.

Maxx Schlick

so bottom line..
1.) how much do 20 stock lugnuts weigh?
2.) How much do 20 Titanium lugnuts weigh?

bpproducts

It is about half the weight of the same length lugnut in steel. We have been using them in the CCW wheels where the hole is really deep and the standard nuts go to far in. With these they are longer actually 2" and are further out. Much easier to take on and off and much stronger.

Is this a joke?
$600 for a set of lug nuts! No thanks. About a dozen things that would take precedence for safety upgrades before ever buying these. Good luck with sales though.

bpproducts

Thanks, again these are for the customers that want the best. Our first batch was 500 lug nuts were sold already most went with the CCW wheels. We are now on our second batch.

No rust, stronger, lighter and longer.

I want the best for my car too but you have to draw the line somewhere. A lot more important things I can do with $600. If I told people I spent $600 on lug nuts someone might try to institutionalize me.

bpproducts

Oh did you forget they are titaniun not steel or alluminum. Have you checked the price of titanium? By the way they do make them for the porsche and ferrari but they are 1200.00 a set for those. Remember cost of material.

Racing is not cheap, yes you need the cage the hans and a lot more. It is the best out there and the material is not cheap and actually super expensive. Yes you get all 20 for that. Did I say stronger, longer, never rust and lighter. 45% lighter.

Most of our customers want the best when we build complete track- street cars. Most will not use 1.50 lug nuts on there 100,000 plus track cars. But you are welcome to do so. Budjet is a big factor, spend 1000.00 for factory repo wheels or 3000 to 9000 for true track wheels. Spend big money on rims and scratch them with short lugnuts that rust your thats your choice. This is a option.

Cool! Could you tell us what one of the lugnuts actually weighs?

Then don't buy them.

How about the studs?? The nuts are only part of the equation.
