Not just Titanium.....a very special metal made from several alloys.
I have never seen a metal like it. The factory won't say what they are made of even.
It seems lighter than Titanium but harder than steel.
I don't have the nerve to melt one to have it analyzed.

Jeremy,
You sure make the other people on this board look good.
I don't know if you just try to make other people look bad to make you look good or what but if that is so....it never works.

You ever work on a real car? A Rolls or a S-series Mercedes?
Price some of those parts.

This same car has a hood that cost $1,700
A engine rebuild costs $10,000
A trans rebuild @$9,000
A $17,000 option that was leather inside
125 electric motors
Cost-is-no-object engineering is what it is called. Look it up

One thing I know........you have the lead on number of blocks put against you on this bored and it just increased by one more.

i know there are quite a few people on the board (notice i spelled it right too! ) who dont like you, or your know it all attitude. i have worked with dirt modifieds, late models, street stocks, and a number of mini stocks. i know all about aluminum and titanium lug nuts. when you said over $100 a piece, that just confirmed you're full of it.
