Titanium Bolts vs. Stainless Steel: Why Titanium Wins
Lightweight Advantage
Titanium is nearly 50% lighter than stainless steel while maintaining incredible strength. You're shaving off crucial unsprung weight by replacing the standard stainless steel bolts with titanium.

This reduction might seem minor, but when it comes to performance cars like the GTR Skyline, even small weight savings translate into noticeable improvements in handling, braking, and acceleration.
Corrosion Resistance
Titanium is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, even in harsh environments. This ensures your bolts stay strong and secure, no matter where or how you drive.
Aesthetic Appeal
Titanium bolts aren’t just about performance—they’re about making a statement. Available in various anodized colors (from classic silver to bold blues and purples), they add a custom touch to your rims, perfectly complementing the aggressive yet refined style of the GTR Skyline.
Why a Lighter Car Matters for Performance?
Improved Handling
Unsprung weight—the weight of components not supported by the car’s suspension, like wheels and bolts—has a direct impact on how your car handles. By reducing unsprung weight with titanium bolts, your suspension can react more quickly to road irregularities, improving grip and overall control.
Enhanced Acceleration
A lighter car requires less force to accelerate. While the weight savings from titanium bolts might not add horsepower, they reduce the workload on your engine, resulting in quicker acceleration and better responsiveness.
More Efficient Braking
Reducing weight also means less inertia, allowing your brakes to work more efficiently. For high-performance driving, this means shorter stopping distances and better stability under heavy braking
Fuel Efficiency
For those who enjoy long drives or track days, weight savings can also contribute to improved fuel economy—a bonus to the performance benefits.
Take Your GTR Skyline to the Next Level
The pursuit of perfection is never-ending, especially when it comes to cars as iconic as the Nissan GTR Skyline. By upgrading your rims with titanium bolts, you’re investing in better performance, bold aesthetics, and long-term reliability.
