Directly serving tuning workshops, racing constructors, and automotive parts distributors across Kyoto Prefecture and the wider Kansai hub with high-purity titanium wheel solutions.
Rotational inertia, thermal expansion dynamics, and shear strength characteristics in motorsport wheel stud conversions.
In high-velocity cornering scenarios common to Japanese mountain passes (Touge) and Kansai racetracks, lowering unsprung rotational mass by 44% significantly enhances suspension damping response, reduces gyroscopic steering resistance, and optimizes wheel acceleration and braking cadence.
Unlike budget aftermarket fasteners produced via standard thread cutting, Vunza wheel studs utilize precision thread-rolling technology under controlled feed rates. This compacts the crystal grain boundaries along the thread contour, dramatically improving fatigue life under continuous lateral G-force cycles.
Titanium naturally experiences microscopic galling against hub interfaces if torque tolerances fluctuate. Our studs and lug nuts undergo proprietary PVD Nitride coating, reducing the friction coefficient to 0.15–0.20, stabilizing clamping force during repeated paddock wheel changes.

Engineered for the demanding operational parameters of motorsport tuners, restoration masters, and precision industries across Kyoto.
Racing outfits based throughout Kyoto (Fushimi-ku, Minami-ku) frequently run customer cars at Suzuka International Circuit and Hyogo's Central Circuit. Our extended titanium conversion studs (M12x1.25, M12x1.5, M14x1.5 to M14x1.25) provide rapid pneumatic wheel transitions and maintain reliable torque under extreme hub brake disc radiant heating.
In northern Kyoto (Fukuchiyama, Maizuru, and Miyazu), mountainous winters feature aggressive calcium chloride anti-icing road sprays. Carbon steel hardware readily seizes and corrodes. Vunza Gr5 fasteners possess a tenacious, self-healing titanium oxide passivation film ($TiO_2$) that prevents galvanic corrosion with forged alloy rims.
Kyoto houses some of Japan's most fastidious boutique automotive restoration craftsmen, specializing in bespoke Skyline GT-R (BNR32/34), NSX (NA1/NA2), and European imports. Our mirror-polished or flame-anodized burnt titanium open-ended lug nuts meet the highest standards of Japanese show aesthetics and functional track duty.
Strategic shift from traditional domestic machining subcontractors toward certified direct titanium manufacturers.
Kyoto importers and distributors face compressed margins when purchasing through multi-tiered Japanese trading conglomerates (Shosha). Direct OEM procurement from Vunza's factory eliminates broker surcharges, delivering Tier-1 aerospace-grade titanium hardware at realistic volume wholesale prices.
With electric platforms (e.g., modified Tesla Model 3s and high-torque hybrid race builds) dominating regional developmental focus, reducing peripheral rolling mass is essential to balance high battery pack curbs. Lightweight titanium wheel assemblies provide an immediate 1.5 kg to 2.8 kg rotational weight savings per vehicle.
Japanese periodic roadworthiness vehicle inspections (Shaken) enforce zero tolerance for cracked, corroded, or ill-fitting wheel retainers. Our certified concentricity (< 0.005 mm) and verified raw titanium chemistry assure Japanese workshops of seamless Shaken acceptance.
Headquartered in the Gaoya Village Industrial Zone adjacent to the Baoti Group Industrial Park in Baoji—globally recognized as "China's Titanium Valley"—Vunza Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. is a verified, fully integrated manufacturer uniting metallurgical R&D, precision 5-axis CNC machining, custom finishing, and direct worldwide distribution.
We provide full drawing customization (2D CAD / 3D STEP), supporting non-standard thread pitches (M14x1.25, M14x1.5, M12x1.25, 1/2-20, 5/8"), knurled stud press-fit shanks, and bespoke laser-etched OEM branding for Kyoto speed shops.
