Anybody no where i can fiind some titanium lug nuts?

Any help is appreciated.

 

Why would you want Titanium lug nuts? It's not as if the stock or any replacement lug nut is heavy if that's what your objective is, lol.

 

Harder to drill off than standard.

~THT

 

Snap, that's right. And also they won't ruse like regular ones. I' don't know who makes them, did you try www.google.com?

 

Im looking for them for weight reduction and i have searched for hours before and i want them for weight reduction . All i keep finding is titanium colored ones.

 

if you're thinking about performance gains, there really won't be any. yes, reducing inertia (also called rolling or rotating mass and related to unsprung weight) is a good idea. however, your lugnuts are quite small and more importantly, located close to the center of the wheel. when it comes to inertia, removing weight from the outer edge of the rim or wheel makes a huge different, whereas reducing weight at the center really makes almost no difference at all. given the cost of titanium you're much better off putting that money somewhere it will count.

if it's just cosmetics, then hey whatever floats your boat, but the "titanium colored" ones would be almost as good

 

sir, what is the weight difference in stock and titianiun lug nuts? to me, for weight purposes, this is the most idiotic thing ive heard. seriously, how much of a difference can 5-10 ounces make? i think you are wasting time and money.

just my $.02

 

I agree about the small weight that it will take off but if it saves 1lb thats one glorious pound.With my carbon trunk on my car will be close to 2675lbs if i thought as you do "ehh this little bit wont count that much " then i would not have a car that weighs in the 2600'slb range. And also my weight goal for my car full interior is 2500's and the weight has to come from somewhere. Next year these sites will be used so i can replace all my stock fasteners(nuts bolts ect) with titanium and aluminum ones http://www.mettec.com/
Thank you

 

My car is not some a to b that gets thrown to the side someday its a future classic . My car is not a johney come lately ive had it since the 90's and it is stored in the winter in a temp controlled fuccility. It is my future muscle car.

I have i ? would you guys tell chip foose that its stupid that he put quality parts on one of his cars?

 

yes, i would tell chip foose that it is stupid to put titanium lug nuts on his car for pure weight reduction, if your worried about weight that much, dont use all 5 lugs!, use 4 in front and 3 in the rear, tighten them down tighter than stock.

i admire your car, its fast, but i think there is probably more weight to be lost else where through out the car other than the lug nuts....

 

not for weight reduction but i would like some more sites guys

 

Then what for?

Just to be able to tell people you have Ti lugs on your family sedan?

 

this is seriously beyond dumb......

 

one of the problem with people is ,that they dont know how to answer ?'s .Must be not enough schooling .

This is america and it is a right to like weight reduction and not to like it. I think its dumb what many people do but i dont run my mouth about it unless it affects me.

 

calm down u freaking whiner, u seriously think its worth it?

 

What are those rims costing you ? There heavier than stock ,you spent all that money and put something on thats even heavier. Why didnt you leave the stock ones on . Could have saved alot of money you dumb a$$.
You spent all that money for looks HAHA and to go even slower than you areHAHAHA

 

HAHAHAHAHA....good one ole' chap! im not trying to make my family sedan into a dragster... u want a fast car? get some real muscle, the max is quick, but your wasting money. now go f**k off

 

Yeah the difference between you and me is a have respect for a persons right i finally got it out of you.
This is what your hillbilly of a mind really wanted to say. And who ever said on god's green earth i have to mod what you or anyone else wants?

 

hillbilly? nice try HOMIE, but not really, if i was a HILLBILLY, would i drive a Nissan Maxima?

look, if u can come to me and prove that Ti. lug nuts provide a performance gain over stock lug nuts, ill admit i was wrong, until then

 

To each of their own I guess, but IMO Ti lugnuts will cost too much for the amount of gain, if any, in speed that you'll see.

 

i have some forged aluminum zenki's........light as fucc!!!!!!....


i love them, but im gonna get some lighter ones.....forged magnesium baby

 

Mags are really soft...make sure you torque them down really well otherwise they'll get torn up and your wheels will fall off.

~THT

 

If you could actually save 1lb. per wheel as krismax says, that would be like taking 40lbs. out of the cabin. Think of it that way.

Every pound the wheels have to rotate is like 10 lbs. in the cabin.

Do the math.


(I don't know if it would be worth it, krismax, but if you want to try it out...go for it.)

 

so this was helpfull, not this what the forum has become somebody asks a question and two people or more fight over some thing else completly unretlated.

Real cool
