    Hi,

    I am sure I will keep my 15mm wheel spacers on for a while (at least off the track) and would like some extended titanium bolts. We can have them made if there are at least 5 sets manufactured. Price will be 405 USD shipped (all 20) , which I think it's cheap compared to what other known companies charge.

    They are true and tested... I have been running the stock version of these since I bought the car for over 2 years, and tracked as well. They are very sturdy and good .. Sold by forum user here @ecarca .

    Let me know and we can order them asap. I prefer black (obviously) but I'll take them in original titanium color too...

    Thanks

    Any pictures? Curious if they're a regular bolt or the inside hex. Also, would standard lengths be possible for the GB for those of us that don't use spacers?

    I don't know about that... we need 5 extended lugs sets, not sure if he'll do another stock one or not; @ecarca can you please confirm?

    @ilko With Marius, that'd be 2 of you ;)
    We're missing 3 takers of 15mm. I may be able to accommodate 2 colors if needed, since the black are processed further for color afterwards.

    Thanks for the kind words @Mario Andretti

    For standard length, no problem but I have only polished at the moment, since the one black set I had went on a friend's F430 Spider last week. I'll PM you individually.

    Thanks!

    Good morning Steve, yes if you have 15mm spacers on your 360 all around, these 15mm longer bolts will be the right fit. Cheers. Emmanuel

    As a side note, the 360 just looks right with these wheels and mirrors!

    Just a little tip, almost all titanium now comes from the Asian market there are a lot of high quality sellers there. You can literally go direct to one of the vendors, like wisdom titanium etc and pick up a set of these for about 180 bucks. I would imagine that this user is getting them from this source anyway

    @kenneyd Feel free to take the lead and organize production, quality control, grouping and logistics for this custom size group buy. It will save me time, and money since this essentially is a non profit with the time spent ;)
    I hope your factory is good, I have dealt with the whole range of factories in the last 20 years, from the farm like den to the high tech ones. My bolts are on my cars: the same ones I drive my kids to school with and go to track days.

    Ti bolts are the kind of thing you really want on your car but they were too expensive. So when I got the opportunity to get sets shipped worldwide at affordable prices through my contacts in motorsport (that I actually met at the tracks, racing) I decided it was a good thing to bring to the community.

    So I am absolutely fine for you to take care of that ;)

    PS: I also recommend for your next grill, outdoor sofa set and all the rest, you check on Taobao and Aliexpress instead of going to Wallmart. But somehow I still use a Weber after I tried the disposable stuff.

    I never said buy then from Ali Express...
    Where are yours made? You're actually producing them, or just sourcing?

    Do you want the name, address and phone number, or just the email? Not at wisdom which I read about before indeed. They're made by a friend, I made at the race track, while actually racing in SEC and CEC (Super Endurance Championship and China Endurance Championship). The garage at take my cars at is run by mechanics that do LeMans series in Asia, etc. So I have a couple of good local contact, yes. What else do you need? How many Espressos I get per day? 7. Do I have cholesterol? Yes, I take Apo Rosuvastatin, 10mg. Anything else I can help with?

    But who are you? Are you just trying to source CCM discs you want to sell for profit, or in need of trolling the thread a member started (on my recommendation because I genuinely was trying to help him) after he asked me privately if I could find a set for him? Which I couldn't because I was asked many times, by many members, unless they find enough sets so that my friend bothers to run a production of longer bolts.

    You can PM the 3 above members and help them with their purchase.​

    This is the kind of response we get simply asking where they are made?

    I think Marius would probably like to get back to the topic, feel free to DM to continue this enjoyable conversation.
