The time and machine work that would take would be pointless. There is no corrosion on the lugs it's literally machine marks I'll post a video later on today

Again if you are buying $500 rims why would you want $800 lugs? But flawless logic

Dinoone,
That bottom lug shows corrosion consistent with aluminum corrosion. I've done lots of work with Titanium as well as Aluminum; possible that the Titanium lugs have an aluminum jacket?

Don't get mad, I typed in what my initial reaction was.... Most on this forum will agree $700-$500 for lug nuts.... Not trying to shit on your post BUT I felt like I was on a Ferrari forum for a minute. Can I afford $700 lug nuts? Since you are bringing the topic of "My **** is bigger that yours move over buddy".... YES. Would I see the value or even a reason to spend that money NO. GLWS
hey now, im not trying to shit on anything. i was just commenting on what may be the reason people are reacting oddly.
but since you opened the door to flawed logic, let me begin.
currently titanium is floating around 30$ a pound.
lug nuts have been used for almost 100 years in the US to date in one form or another.
threads can be traced back to 400 BC
the flawed logic here is using a couple thousand year old design with 30$ worth of material and asking 700$ for it. that ******* overhead must be killing business hahaha.
i can 100% say that not even if i wanted to afford them i wouldnt buy them. no i cannot afford 700$ lug nuts lol.

"There is a market for everything."
This is absolutely true! P.T. Barnam famously said, "There is a sucker born every minute," and he was dead right. Americans will buy anything: Chia Pets, Cabbage Patch Kids, Tickle Me Elmo, Pet Rocks...
Pet Rocks. That example alone would have sent Mr. Barnam into a paroxysm of laughter.
So yeah, there's a market for your titanium lug nuts. After all, you bought them.
