Titanium lug nuts for my SS?
I found some titanium corvette racing lug nuts and was wondering if they would fit. I know that the SS has 14x1.5 lug nuts, was wondering if the corvette had the same lug pattern? The lug nuts are from breathless performance.

Yeah the SS uses 14x1.5 lugs but go with forged aluminum racing lugs; they're as light and strong as titanium but they're way cheaper. Torque them to 90 lbs and you'll be good.

Corvette uses 12mm x 1.5, so it isn't the same as the Camaro.

I got a set of blue ones from this vendor on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20PC-...-/360309650164 Check his listings to see what other colors he has available. Price was good, and they delivered as advertised.

Thanks a bunch guys. I know it's even more expensive or whatever but I think I am going to get the forgeline center lock conversion with some dope racing wheels. I've always been a fan and now I can run it with no problem's because I can just take the adapter off and put the stockers back on when I want.
Any comment's or suggestions to my new idea/plan? |

I'd love to help you on those Forgelines, been waiting on a 5th gen to step up for some centerlock wheels. The aluminum lugs should work fine, IMHO. Extra weight closer to the center of a rotating axis isn't as costly as weight towards the outer radius.

What can you do for me on the Centerlock kit and wheel's to go with? Do you offer military discount and what would it take to get it to Wheeler Army Air Field in Hawaii?

These will not fit your SS, the corvette lug nuts are 12x1.5.
