Looks great! Has a price been determined for a set of 27?

This video explains the process and end result more. The graphic is exterior threads, but the outcome is the same with interior threads, like a lug nut. Working on the F-15 Eagle, while in the Air Force, I became exposed to and accustomed to roll formed precision threads on engine, hydraulic, and secondary power applications. It’s just taken me about 20 years to use what I know in a practical application, but lucky for you!I’m still not sure I understand roll forming, but I like this stuff! Just have Rik decide if I want natural or black…
We've run titanium lug nuts on our race cars for years with different materials with zero issues.Also, I am far from a metallurgist, but will the differences in material cause any issues? Is anti-seize recommended and will that affect the torque spec?
Damn $620! They are bad-ass! Recently overheard Wheel thief discussion- Screw the wheels, I'm taking the lug nuts!The time to SEND IT is here.
There are 10 sets (of 27 lug nuts) machined and stacked up at the laser for finishing. I loaded up 6 more titanium bars in the bar feeder and the AR | LUG NUT MACHINE is off and running!
If you do opt for the black PVD finishing, over the standard raw, those will be another 20-30 days out, or so, due to the Holidays. The PVD coating is applied by a company in Seattle that performs the same service for aircraft components. Nothing but the best for these beauties.
They’re now live on the website.
And here’s a teaser of the open end 2 piece lug nut.
Yeah, that's... nuts.Damn $620!
Yeah, that's... nuts.
For a quantity of 27, USA forged Grade 5 titanium, roll formed threads, and machined by yours truly, that’s an amazing price. If people are after cheap junk, they’re clicking on the wrong threads. You won’t find my stuff on Amazon.Damn $620! They are bad-ass! Recently overheard Wheel thief discussion- Screw the wheels, I'm taking the lug nuts!
I am in, please send link when available
Less than 1/2 that price with the B6G discount!!!I am guessing that these will be in the $1k price range?
Curtis, you are without a doubt, producing the best Bronco accessories out there. These lug nuts are good enough for F1 (if they still used lug nuts). Hell It wouldn't surprise me if the Air Force came calling and wanted to use them on the F-22. I just have this internal "Bang for my Buck" meter that will not allow me to spend that much for lug nuts!For a quantity of 27, USA forged Grade 5 titanium, roll formed threads, and machined by yours truly, that’s an amazing price.

Wait until you see the wheels we’ll be machining.
I never even thought lug nut theft was even a thing. I mean, you'd have to know exactly what they were and spend hours devising a plan and shadowing the vehicle for the perfect moment to do the deed. It's not like people drive up and down the aisles at target with an electric impact from Harbor Freight (I would say a Milwaukee impact, but we're talking about the poors here) scoping out titanium lug nuts. What are the odds that there would even be a vehicle in a parking lot of 100 car with even nice lug nuts?About what I expected. Question - wouldn’t a set of 22 make sense as well for those using wheel locks?
Need a set of lug locks for these suckers.
Depending on the lug seat, the TETON Ti's would still be applicable to aftermarket wheels. Lug studs are still M12 x 1.5. DEFENDER (most all Land Rovers) have a totally different style lug nut. Some other Euro vehicles use a ball seat.5-600 is about what I expected.
They look great, and I just put some KMC wheels on my Bronco yesterday, so I don’t have a need for stock Sasquatch lugs anymore, so I’m out. Good luck to those with the disposable cash to buy these.
