Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Got a set of these lovely Titanium wheel bolts, thought I'd do a quick video review. I got them because, cosmetically, the originals were looking done. Pretty happy with my purchase

I think they are OK for normal use but I removed them from my GT4 because of galling ... the steel of the hub carrier was gradually stripping the softer titanium thread of the stud when torqued up to 115 ft lbs ...

Use of high speed air/electric wrenches not recommended. And for a regularly tracked car, I'd be looking to change to wheel studs, though not the usual stuff out there, you need proper flanged and splined studs that are pressed into the hub :

That's why I'm just putting them on hand tight.

Not a good idea then. Safety and warranty concerns.
Stick with steel.
Warranty I'd not know, but safety wise, these guys make them for Ferrari and rest assured Hill engineering are very well regarded company :

Added to which Ferrari themselves made them available as an option for cars such as the 360 Challenge Stradale and 430 Scuderia

I've had Titanium wheel nuts on Ferraris and found them great with no downsides. In fact if you track your Ferraris hard its recommended to fit Titanium nuts as the standard steel ones are prone to slacken off when they get really hot on track whereas the Ti ones don't.

I watched Mcl marketing these. Funny. Kool aid.
Look Aid? We Americans now? But also, they don’t corrode so cosmetically they are much improved. Also the old set were worn out. Lighter & stronger too - not that they need to be
Titanium suffers much less from heat expansion compared to Steel which is why they're much less prone to loosen when they get really hot on track.
Interesting what Chris W said above though..

As long as you're happy thats the main thing. A wire brush, can of paint and your old ones would be fine.
The weight saving quite frankly not worth the money.
But they do look good ...
I reckoned I gained .5 kilo per corner, but I changed my mind when I found the unexpected debris.
Anybody want to buy a set of super-light Ti studs ?

Paint? On wheel bolts? Come on.
