Our Products
OUR INITIAL PRODUCT OFFERING
Unique Lug Nut Designs in a variety of Colors and Finishes
Our technology creates a metallic tableau that allows for high art designs to integrate into and to accentuate the wheel surface. A uniquely engineered flip up lock cap locks and secures the lug nut and provides ease of access for removal as required.
Distinctive art renditions will be available, reflecting an owner’s personal interest – ranging from 3-D animal imagery, zodiac signs, classical sculpture, sports and other cultural motifs
Custom Colors
Other primary and custom colors are under planning and may be introduced to the product suite upon launch

The TiMA Difference
HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
TiMA Takes Mere Functional to the Sublime
Today, lug nuts are overlooked and utilitarian
- Little variation beyond the core function
- Mostly made of heavy steel and other metal alloys that rust or corrode over time
TiMA’s products combine the highest quality titanium with bespoke, artisan craftsmanship
- TiMA uses only multi-certified elite aerospace grade titanium with special coatings to create a mirrored, scratch-free surface and a lighter and stronger product that will not rust, corrode or scratch
- Combines European-based high-end design with US-based Titanium fabrication to create highly stylized, customized, and 3-dimensional “wheel sculpture” for a car – creating an additional “Wow!” factor for clients looking to make their already beautiful cars stand out even more
- For the most discerning of adopters, TiMA offers complete freedom of design – customers are limited only by their imagination and the dimensions of their wheels!

Advantages of Titanium
- Stronger than steel
- 45% lighter than steel – removes weight
- Doesn’t corrode or rust – perfect for cars that run in wet or cold climates
- Titanium strength means points and edges of 3-D designs won’t chip or dent
- Highest quality aerospace grade Titanium adds to cache of product and creates barrier to entry
The TiMA Competitive Advantage
Proprietary Technological Developments:
- The scope and abilities of our proprietary technology cover many disciplines and create our own process for handling and developing titanium products.
- We are able to design and engineer multiple products in titanium
- Manufacturing techniques allow for more efficiencies than machining titanium
- We incorporate cost-effective molecular surface hardening and lubrication for ease of use and durability
- Our 3D Near-Net-Shape manufacturing process is 10X faster and 1/4th the cost of traditional
3D printing. - We utilize cutting edge titanium foam in lightweight applications
The proprietary procedures for each application of the technology are vaulted for security and protection from corporate espionage.
The TiMA Market Opportunity
TiMA will initially focus on customized wheel accessories for the on the top six ultra-luxury car brands – Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Rolls Royce – which carry typical purchase price points of $150,000 and up.
Approximately 51,000 of these cars are produced each year and sold globally, and TiMA will focus on cars sold within the past 10 years, creating an initial target market size of 510,000 cars as an extremely high percentage of these cars remain on the road as owners treat these possessions as collectibles.
Additionally, statistics show that an ultra luxury car owner is likely to own multiple cars – Ferrari claims that more than half of their owners own 5 or more cars – so a single TiMA customer could provide multiple sales opportunities.
Early marketing in the US market and particularly the Asian market indicates a “white hot” demand for these distinctive parts.
The ‘Ultra Luxury’ Mindset
For owners of these brands, price is no object when it comes to accessorizing and customizing their mobile collections and for many, their choice of car and the car’s accessories is a visual representation of the owner’s success and achievements. TiMA wheel art adds the “last-mile differentiation,” making these exceptional cars truly reflect their owners’ personal brands.
Auto manufacturers deliberately create the exclusivity these customers crave:
“I have always given thought to color and option choices that would make the cars different; I like my cars to stand out from the rest. I look at how to customize the exterior trim in interesting ways, and I have the interior follow suit…I want to “spec it out” for it to be special.”
— Tennessee businessman Phil Bachman, owner of the world’s largest Ferrari collection in “Unbridled Passion,” Forza Magazine, July 17, 2014
