Chrisc Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Well not that much, but the bolts and key weigh at least 10kg Titanium is always my weakness! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pits Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I like the idea although I suspect ATS will still forget to do them up, if not pinch them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy i use for the titanium stud kits also produces standard length bolts in titanium as well. Where im not worried about spacers, i thought bolts would be a good idea this time! If you want his details, then let me know. £110 delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key and locking adaptor weigh a bit! And each bolt is lighter compared to the stock one. The saving is in grams unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pits Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 those grams add up, particularly towards the end of the night down the pub. I bet they're worth at least a kilo each by last orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynB Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 YMMV, but I'll just leave this here... http://www.dtmpower.com/Porschewheelnutcorrosionproblem.htm How much of a problem you'll get from galvanic corrosion, I guess we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do need a decent lube on them though, but ultimately not had one bit of corrosion, ever. I think you could find issues with just about anything on the net these days.

MartynB Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I guess having used them before you know how to treat them to avoid the corrosion and galling, cool beans. I dropped that article on because not everyone is aware of titanium's "special needs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i bet the garages just dont care, and use an impact gun regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
