Not just Titanium.....a very special metal made from several alloys.
I have never seen a metal like it. The factory won't say what they are made of even.
It seems lighter than Titanium but harder than steel.
I don't have the nerve to melt one to have it analyzed.

Jeremy,
You sure make the other people on this board look good.
I don't know if you just try to make other people look bad to make you look good or what but if that is so....it never works.

You ever work on a real car? A Rolls or a S-series Mercedes?
Price some of those parts.

This same car has a hood that cost $1,700
A engine rebuild costs $10,000
A trans rebuild @$9,000
A $17,000 option that was leather inside
125 electric motors
Cost-is-no-object engineering is what it is called. Look it up

One thing I know........you have the lead on number of blocks put against you on this bored and it just increased by one more.

the lead on number of blocks huh? WTF does that mean?

i know there are quite a few people on the board (notice i spelled it right too! :D) who dont like you, or your know it all attitude. i have worked with dirt modifieds, late models, street stocks, and a number of mini stocks. i know all about aluminum and titanium lug nuts. when you said over $100 a piece, that just confirmed you're full of it.
