Designed for high-performance racing and premium aftermarket tuning, our Grade 5 Titanium Wheel Bolts offer the perfect balance of lightweight engineering and uncompromised safety. Manufactured from certified Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) aerospace titanium bars, these bolts are engineered to withstand the extreme stresses of track use while significantly reducing rotational mass.
Unlike standard steel bolts, our titanium lug bolts reduce weight by 40-45%, directly lowering the vehicle’s unsprung weight. This translates to faster suspension response, improved handling precision, and quicker acceleration/braking dynamics. Whether for a dedicated track car or a high-end stance build, these bolts provide the mechanical reliability required by professional race teams
We utilize a Hot Forging process for the bolt heads and Thread Rolling technology for the threads. This combination ensures continuous grain flow and superior fatigue resistance, addressing the common failure points found in cheaper, CNC-machined titanium bolts.
Why Choose Our Titanium Wheel Bolts?
Data based on ASTM B348 and ASTM E8 standards for Grade 5 Titanium.

In the world of wheel fasteners, manufacturing method dictates safety. We strictly avoid “all-machined” production for load-bearing bolts.
Our bolt heads are formed by hot forging. This process aligns the grain structure of the titanium alloy with the shape of the head.
Threads are formed by cold rolling dies under high pressure, rather than cutting material away.
Empower your brand with our diverse customization options. We use PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology for black and gold finishes, which offers superior wear resistance compared to standard anodizing.
Titanium bolts require correct installation practices to ensure safety and performance.
Always verify with the vehicle manufacturer’s manual. Do NOT overtighten.
| Bolt Size | Recommended Torque Range (Dry) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| M12 x 1.25 / 1.5 | 110 – 130 Nm (80 – 95 ft-lbs) | Common for JDM & smaller vehicles |
| M14 x 1.25 / 1.5 | 125 – 145 Nm (90 – 105 ft-lbs) | Common for European & Performance cars |
Quality is our baseline. Every batch of titanium wheel bolts undergoes rigorous testing before shipment.
Q: Are Grade 5 titanium bolts strong enough for racing?
A: Yes. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) has a tensile strength of over 895 MPa, which is comparable to Grade 10.9 steel bolts commonly used in automotive applications. Our forged production process further ensures they meet the fatigue requirements of racing environments.
Q: Will titanium bolts rust in winter conditions?
A: No. Titanium is virtually immune to corrosion from road salts, snow, and water. Unlike steel bolts that rust and seize over time, titanium remains corrosion-free for the life of the vehicle.
Q: What is the lead time for custom PVD colors (e.g., Black/Gold)?
A: For orders under 500 pieces, the lead time is typically 7-12 days. PVD coating requires batch processing to ensure color consistency.
Q: Do you offer “Flat Head” bolts with washers?
A: Yes. As shown in our specifications, we manufacture Flat Head bolts, often used with floating washers for specific aftermarket wheels (like Peugeot/Citroen fitments or specialized forged wheels). The floating washer design helps protect the wheel’s paint finish during tightening.
Q: Can I get a sample kit before a bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We offer a sample kit containing M12/M14 bolts in different colors/seats for you to verify the weight, thread quality, and finish. Contact us to request yours.
Our titanium products and manufacturing capabilities provide strong value across multiple industries. Here are the key advantages that make HonTitan a reliable partner.
HonTitan makes titanium materials that are very strong for their weight and resist corrosion very well. This makes them stable for use in aerospace, medical, chemical, and marine settings.
