Those are absolutely beautiful...now remind me since this thread has gone on for so long - what wheels are these again and is the paint OEM black? Specs on the wheels - diameter, width, offset? Are the caps metal or plastic? Can't wait to see them on your car - bet you can't wait either. They look great!!!

I am not familiar with titanium bolts. Is Poggipolini considered a very good brand? Do you (or Gregg) happen to know who makes the Champion bolts please?Quote:

Heh heh heh...I'd think that this is probably one of the longest ongoing thread on here.
Ironically, these are the exact bolts that I was looking for back when I was considering getting RG5 wheels. I was going to get those wheels from Wheel Experts and they didn't have these chrome bolts. They referred me to Boothe Design where I got those badly designed bolts. If I had gone directly to Champion I'm sure I'd have ended up with those bolts you got, Gregg. I do like those titanium bolts but are they really worth spending $1200 on!?!

You're a madman, Gregg! Taking care of everything even down to the wheel bolts!
I might be interested in a group buy if the price is right. I currently already have wheel studs plus wheel nuts so it'll be interesting to see how much weight savings I get by going with these sweet looking titanium bolts!
These look like torx patterns. If someone happened to have those on hand, they'd be able to steal these wheels, no?

Cannga, I don't know anything about Poggipolini or NyxRacing. Seeing Gregg mention titanium bolts jogged my memory that I had bookmarked a site with them in the past.
Again Gregg, those wheels are fabulous. I'm a big fan of the factory wheels, but this thread and especially the 171's, are making me think. hummmm

Black chrome? What would that look like? Consider getting the Techart springs instead. They're progressive and would ride better than the H&R springs.

Poggipolini spend most of their time dealing with Ferrari and other F1 teams. Their credentials and reputation are beyond impeccable.

Thanks. I found the following interesting thread from 6speedonline. The weight saving was supposedly .8 lbs per wheel. BTW the posters were trying to get the price to come down from $550!
Really I don't think Gregg could resist these very very pretty

And quote from one post:
Just spoke with the owner/exclusive US importer.
These are the same wheel bolts that HRE will be selling along side their new Competition wheel line. Very high quality. This manufacturer also supplies the Ferrari F1 Team.
He said the factory (in Italy) will be making a run of these bolts in a couple of weeks to be shipped in early March. The normal price is $550. He said if he received 5 or more orders he will discount by 10%. I think it's a bargain.
Lots of guys are spending $4500 on wheels and $1500 in tires per year compared to a one-time cost of $100 per wheel. These things look very cool and cut significant rotational mass.
Just so we are clear. I am not arranging a group buy. If you want these bolts, call him yourself (John Murray 310-980-1912) and be prepared to pay the full $550 if we don't get more than 5. He said he doesn't need any cash up front; just call him with your commitment. Wait till Monday (7 Feb) when he gets back to LA. When I called him, he was in North Carolina consulting to some NASCAR teams. I have already placed my order at full price.

Hey Stradale, needless to say the wheels look amazing.
I have a set of silver PES GP7's sitting in my living room that I am going to get painted gloss black for my Black TT Coupe. I also have the Tequipment color crested wheel caps (bought from Suncoast). Are your caps plastic?
Also, I think you mentioned somewhere that the painter did not get overspray anywhere. Are you implying that the painter masked off (taped) the colored crests and then painted the whole cap? I was told that the painter is suppose to remove the colored crests from the caps and then paint. Then, when the paint is dry, re-attach the colored crests back on the caps.
From inspecting the caps, I dont see how the crests can easily be removed, however they do appear to be stuck on, as in the crests appear to be a seperate piece that could potentially be removed.
