Titanium wheel nuts ! How much!

I really rate Olly and Matt, their Gobstoppers are great cars, but the price of these- https://rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk/store/product/827-rcm-titanium-wheel-nut-set?fbclid=IwAR3QUgDvxA-11_zK-HA5ATyEO1YT__8i4oytWpbj3cakG7OU31wh4YLPj4o

Love their sales pitch...

Titanium wheel nuts are 29% stronger and nearly 50% lighter than steel which results in a decreased rotational wheel mass, quicker acceleration and handling benefits in high performance applications. Additionally the lower thermal expansion of titanium results in more consistant tension under heating.

Super lightweight in design and engineered from aerospace grade titanium these open ended wheel nuts are supplied laser marked with the RCM Power Parts logo on each nut.

Slimline 17mm hex for ease of installation and removal regardless of wheel design.

 

Who is the guy with deep pockets to prove out the acceleration improvement! haha

Surely only if the wheels are titanium too? If the wheels are "normal" alloy the relative differing expansion rates between the two materials is the opposite of what is stated, no?

This is where the acceleration improvements comes from....

I'm with you on that too!

I actually think there pretty cheap. The price of titanium plus the tooling to cut it. At just under 11 quid a nut I'd say they were pretty good value 

[DonPeffers]

AT that price does each nut have an individual motor to aid acceleration?

I was going to say the same. I didn't think they were bad value for Ti. 

 

And you'd only need 16

@Rush Motorsport the 2nd had some of these. He doesn’t realise they’ve been replaced with steel ones.

@Rush Motorspurt doesnt realise that i swapped the titianium ones with silver painted cheese because i knew he would steel them.

Your Freudian slip is showing...
