The factory nut measures approximately \u003cstrong\u003e26 mm in flange diameter and 10.6 mm in overall height\u003c\/strong\u003e. The APTORX design increases these dimensions to a \u003cstrong\u003e27 mm flange diameter and 12 mm overall height\u003c\/strong\u003e, while utilizing a thicker flange geometry and larger \u003cstrong\u003e17 mm hex\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger 17 mm hex provides increased socket engagement during installation and removal, while the more substantial flange geometry maintains a compact, OEM-inspired footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack, Gold, Blue, and Rainbow variants receive a \u003cstrong\u003ePVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish\u003c\/strong\u003e for excellent color durability and wear resistance. During development, PVD-finished samples were repeatedly installed and removed with a socket more than 50 times without coating peel or loss of color. Normal pressure marks from tool contact may still occur and are considered normal cosmetic wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eRaw Titanium\u003c\/strong\u003e version retains its
