titanium beadlock bolts

I run ti wheel studs and nuts. Not because i was looking for performance but I did a lot of dyno work for the guy who owns ti64 and he gave me one of his 1st drag racing sets. We talked about expanding his drag racing line and looking at it he did! looks like he has bead lock kits.

I've thrown 5-10 lbs in and out of my nose before and didn't notice any difference in ET period. Might have even went quicker when added weight and slower when taking weight out. I don't see the advantage to spending the $$ or time messing with 2 lbs.

Deltas use ti studs nuts and washers, and I can tell you from experience Weld will bend you over for a set of them

I removed bolts and weighed them and then weighed the titanium bolts. Total wieght savings was 11 ozs. per wheel. So I spent $300.oo on bolts to save 1 lb 6ozs total and gained nothing on my ET slip. Feel free to learn from my experience.

dave I was tyring to combine it with other items...new wheels 6lbs...titanium bolts...2lbs..lighter axles...6lbs...lightweight converter 21lbs
so those items alone where supposed to give me 35lbs.
but it backfired already..moser new axles are 4.2lbs heavier than my old mosers axles...so plan aborted

Just drill a .125 hole thru your bolts.
