kinda off topic..... but i love your lugs (price?).... and i was thinking, would it be practical to make titanium wheels? i bet you people would be all over them, even if they costed $5k each. i bet rich people would love that kind of bling, especially if they are lighter & stronger than al wheels. anyway, just a thought. again, your lugs look great!

It wasn't? Hmmm...well maybe I should make one that looks like that then if the market is there. It's a hefty investment after all. Thanks a lot for the feedback everyone, and thanks to this site for letting me ask these questions.

Well not right now. I have no problem making a producing the titanium strut tower bar, (Already fully discussed it with my fabricator with designs) however for me to put the time and money (~$10,000) forward I have to know that these will actually sell.
Unfortnatley, I have had over 50 people with EvoXs contact me via PM or e-mail, telling me they wanted a set of my lug nuts. Once told the price, they backed out. Basically I am worried that if no one in the EvoX crowd buys lug nuts, then I don't see many people(#s I have to make in order to make these bars affordable for the public) putting the money forward for the strut tower bar which will be significantly more. Titanium and working with it isn't cheap.
I have no problem making parts, as I am currently about to come out with 3 nice pieces for the S2000 community, 1 for the 300ZX, and one for the NSX, BUT I have to know that the community will then support me by buying them if I go through the hassle of designing and making these parts.
Time will tell, but so far, sadly there are no plans to move forward, unless I get at least 20 confirmed people willing to spend ~$500 per bar, which so far, I just don't see happening.
Not trying to be rude, but everyone has to see where I am coming from. Time will tell, and I will give an update if the status changes.

I fully understand where you are coming from man, but it only helps to know how the product would look, and a price that they would sell for. Yes the lugs are expensive but honestly they are cheaper then others. I do plan on getting a set, its just right now money os going to needed items, before I can buy the wanted, dont need, but who cares and will get anyway. You know what I mean. I am sure many will get them, and to fully sell out may take some time. If you offer something that no one else is offering they will sell!
