Oh, and Gorilla are trash. They corrode. If you want decent lugs and locks just get McGard.
Why is Titanium used in marine applications again? All these SS fan boys troll in the ZL1 forums hahahaha.

My bad. A lot of the GT350R owners have them as well. I now have a set ordered for my GT350R as well. The people who bash them seem not to have the funds for them. There’s even boat props made out of titanium. Rust on grade 4 titanium hahahahaaaa

Not rust, galling...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galling


Anyways, just to be helpful here's a seller with 20 min qty, you guys should go in on a group buy and get them for <$5 each instead of paying others to import them for you. I think McGard is made in the USA, and the weight difference is negligible, but whatever. Enjoy your Chinese Ti lug nuts.

https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...1da1233dhjS7yv



Next, you guys should really look into some LED lighting kits and carbon fiber vinyl wraps! Not too many people rice out their Camaros but there are a few...

Oh, and check out the definition of galling as an adjective, that's what buying Ti lug nuts is. Coincidence? I think not!

Yea they come off my car so much. This is not a Honda Accord that sees 20K miles a year. Maybe you should look at posting in your fourm SS fan boy. Your ignorance of cost is quite entertaining. You don’t quite grasp machining costs & Grade 4 titanium cost. Stop stereotyping on the cheap stuff you have bought in the past. Stop trying to goal post. Your previous post mentioned corroding.

I will post pictures of the titanium Lugnuts after i have them installed on my new R. Then you can reach for some more BS to post.

Mine haven't corroded at all with a set on my 2013 ZL1 for the last 6 1/2 years and 45,000 miles on it. They still look good as new.

Yeah, but 99.9% of Ti lugnuts go on Hondas, so...

We don't have to wait, this is just like Ti lugnuts on a Camaro...

It seems hit or miss. Poster on page 1 has corroded Gorillas and it seems like a common issue. I realize not all of them corrode.

Also, splined locks are really easy to get off, the McGard style locks are far more secure and are used by many OEMs.

Looks like your 1LE. 🌈. Out of your reach so you Troll🍄. I get it now. You need to learn about the different grades of titanium. Surgical tools are made of titanium because the corrode🤣😂. I’m being facetious
