Titanium Lug Nuts & Wheel Lug Nuts

Switching to titanium lug nuts is a practical way to reduce unsprung weight on your car or motorcycle. However, you must match the thread pitch, seat type, and length exactly to your wheel and stud.

Titanium lug nuts and wheel nuts from Titansmith are made from Grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V). This alloy offers high strength while resisting corrosion from road salt and moisture. The fasteners are available in various finishes, including raw, anodized colors like blue or gold, and black.

Open end lug nuts

This category includes M12 and M14 sizes. For M12, we offer lengths of 35 mm and 44 mm with a cone seat. M14 options come in 35 mm and 45 mm lengths, also with a cone seat. Both thread pitches, 1.25 and 1.5, are available as variations.

Closed end lug nuts

Closed end nuts cover the stud tip completely. We stock closed end titanium lug nuts M14x1.5x32, which are specifically listed for Porsche applications. Standard M12x35 and M14x35 sizes are also available.

12 point lug nuts

We offer 12 point lug nuts in M12 (20 mm) and M14 (25 mm) sizes. Both 1.25 and 1.5 pitches are supported.

Specialized and locking options

For specific vehicles, we list M14 ball seat titanium lug nuts for Porsche 911. These use a radius seat to match the wheel hub. Anti-theft M12 titanium lug nuts are listed in 45 mm and 48.3 mm lengths.

Motorcycle performance parts

For bikes, we list M14x1.5x36 titanium wheel nuts for motorcycles. These are GR5 titanium, 12-point, and fit a 19 mm socket. They are listed as performance parts for BMW, Ducati, KTM, and Yamaha models.

How to choose

Check your wheel manufacturer's specs for the seat type. Wheels take either a cone seat or a ball (radius) seat, so check which one yours uses. Verify the thread pitch; both 1.25 and 1.5 are used across different vehicles. Ensure the length suits your stud depth and any wheel recesses.

Installation and care

Torque your nuts to the vehicle or wheel maker's specified value. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding whether to apply lubricant to the stud threads or keep them dry. Titanium has a lower stiffness than steel, so threads can gall if run dry. Re-check torque after the first drive.

Frequently asked questions

Do titanium lug nuts rust?

Titanium resists rust and corrosion from road salt and moisture better than steel.

Are these nuts suitable for all cars?

No. You must match the thread pitch, seat type, and length to your specific wheel and stud configuration. Check the product listings for vehicle-specific notes, such as those for Porsche or BMW.

What finishes are available?

We offer raw titanium, black, blue, blue purple, burnt blue, candy, gold, green, lake blue, purple, and rainbow finishes. The color is a surface finish applied via anodizing or PVD coating.
