I was shocked when my friend bought a set of t1r lug nuts for his NSX. The first reason was the fact that they cost $500, the other is the fact that it's hidden within his TE37's. I came across these lug nuts and I was shocked! These nuts cost $1500 a set, and they are for Porsche and other exotics...

well, it has titanium etched on it. if its full real titanium then thats understandable.

also being for porsche, means its probably a 14x1.5??? i dont remember if they will work on vb's and audi's.

either way, for exotics, prices like that arent unheard of. can u imagine paying 25,000 for an exhaust?

I have yet to find a super exotic part. Where can I find parts over $10K? Not that I can afford it, but I just find it interesting. I always thought Dymag makes the most expensive wheels, sachs suspension, Capristo exhaust???

^ A Heffner Twin Turbo Setup on a Gallardo. That thing cost 54k lol.....outrageous....

a site that has a buttload of aftermarket mods for the new R35 GTR, a lot of parts on there go for over $10k easily, search it up...


some $16k coilovers being sold there

sachs suspension

Boge/Sachs is who makes the stock Cavalier suspension... ;)

[Jsunu]

makes me sad that some super car mods cost more then my future cars themselves :(

An Endless BBK setup for the new GT-R is $15,000.

is it even necessary? how will it improve pperformance?

If you're doing some serious professional racing, every little bit of weight reduction helps. With the amount of wear, tear, and stress you put into the car and its components, titanium can stand up against all of it.

Otherwise, it's just a waste of money.

I wonder who has this on their GT-R

After you max out the performance of major aspects in the vehicle, the only things left to mod are things left to do is fine-tuning. Racing lug nuts fall into the fine tuning category, since their performance gain is minimal

How much do the ones on a carrera GT cost?

^agreed, it's probably one of the last and least cost effective things to do

You're talking about the Wheel lock nuts right? Well to give you a ball park figure. The RS Spyder wheel option for the 09 Turbos cost about $3,700 USD. So if you're talking about one just solely for the CGT then it'll probably cost 2 times that amount or more. Plus the Locking nut is anodized in Red and Blue colours and is somewhat different interms of mechanical operation. Oh yeah and a fun fact, the CGT's torque spec for each wheel is 407 ft lbs. :)

The driver could probably lose more weight by going on a diet or fitness regiment.

that wouldn't be unsprung weight though

[Rikaro]

If you clean off your brake dust you'll free some unsprung weight too lol

They also make $16K suspension units for R35...

lol shave off all the writing on the tires XD, maybe that's why formula 1 cars have it just sort of written on, probably more aerodynamic too,

[orange7]

no no wait.. might as well shave eyebrows




or.. just not wear underwears

^ remove a kidney is more effective you noob

[Marco911]

Porsche and exotic parts are expensive!!

Believe me, I know.
