The rivets, tabs or whatever those nubbs are ruin what could have been a real nice wheel IMO. Each to their own though..

Wheels are sex.
But rivets ruin it, and add unnecessary weight.

I would love to get a set of wheels but my first mod will have to be my exhaust..I had a little run in with a big rubber car block, and it bent my exhaust so i will be handling that soon

I'm a fan. They remind me of work emotion but not so close as to be knockoff. As far as the rivets go, I can spray them to blend in so not really an issue for me. These are also some of the lightest wheels I've seen from xxr. 17x8.25 at 17.6lbs. I'm pretty much sold as long as there aren't any issues finding good rubber. Not sure if the odd width affects selection.
