Titanium wheel bolts for the Clio 200

[RS200A&D]

Is it possible to get titanium wheel bolts for the Clio 200? I have an A&D (equivalent to the UK Raider) with the 18" Interlagos wheels from the Megane, and was wondering if anyone supplies titanium bolts/nuts for these rims.

You might be able to buy them for a BMW that has the same odd thread size, M14x1.5 make sure they have a tapered seat though.

Does the Clio with the 18" Interlagos wheels have the same wheel bolt/nut size as the 17" Clio wheels? What's the length of the bolts?

If they're the same size as BMW, I'm wondering if these would fit:

Can't really see the advantage? especially for the price..

Ti has a tendency to gaul, is not as strong as 12.9 grade bolts, and is not all that much lighter.

Those are a very expensive option, i was thinking you meant a titanium coated bolt.

I have a set of wheels for my trackday alfa that are around a kilo lighter than some other wheels i have and i can tell a difference in steering, it's all about the unsprung weight, i have also fitted a stud kit and very light alloy nuts to make a difference but the costs involved in that were only about £80

£500 is a bit different.

You more than likely won't save a kilo all round... you'd be much better, buying some lighter wheels and selling your originals

or as mentioned above, you could change to a stud and alloy nut arrangement
