Hello Forum members,



I am new to the specific community but have been an automotive enthusiast for as long as I can remember. I have always had a passion for art and design and since learning CAD and developing a taste for business, I’ve been working on these lugs nuts in the pictures below. 2 versions: 1. Grade 5 Titanium and 2. 316 Stainless steel. Titanium for those who want the lightest weight part and don’t mind the added cost, 316 for those who are okay with steel but are still looking for a premium product.



Lug specs:



- Weight: Ti (35 grams), 316 SS (65 grams)

- Excellent corrosion resistance

- Excellent lug and thread strength, no aluminum version will be offered

- 60 degree tapered seat, suits most aftermarket wheels

- M12 x 1.5 and M12x 1.25 will be offered

- 19mm socket

- As lugs are considered automotive jewelry, the logo was artistically placed enhancing the lug’s appearance, setting it apart from the rest of the after market

- Price point subject to change from this estimate

Ti- +/- $300

316 SS +/- $120





Is this something that you would purchase? ( answer honestly please)



I AM ONLY TRYING TO GAUGE INTEREST IN THE PRODUCT **I DO NOT HAVE ANY STOCK YET**

This post was supposed to be reviewed by a mod before it appeared. So by that virtue it is legitimate.

 

$300 for random lug nuts?

What do they even offer new to the market?

Pass lol

 

Titanium is expensive and that's on the low end of the price point for that market. Ultimately, they're not a radically new concept by any means, this is for anyone who would want to swap out their old lugs for more of a creative piece. Adding a touch of design to a very practical part of the car. This is me dipping my toes in the water. They only get made if enough people want them.

 

I let this one by as nothing more than a gauge of interest. There is no product at this point and is stated as such in original post. If OP decides to go ahead with building them and selling them, well, then there's an issue. But as it stands, it's not a big deal. Other mods may disagree and if so, it will be closed/deleted.

 

honesty?

glue ... you're on it

I wish you luck and thank you for pushing the envelope

Thanks for the warm welcome

 

I bought 22 gram lug nuts for $50 shipped over 6 years ago(Brand new and similar style as yours) and have been taking off/on many times with an impact gun
I don't see how yours are any better at more weight/price
