not really...... just not the best design. they had to have a screw to hold the cap on over the lug nuts...
ive seen them like that before. not my style of rims at all tho....

That's what I was thinking... a torquey car could rip right through that 1/4" of aluminum into the other pattern of bolt holes.

(and the style of wheel is why I referred to them as "rimzzzzz" )

i dont think so... with the right lug nuts it should go into the cut out groves. i dont see that much of a problem with them... well besides they look like crap.LOL
remember the holes are offset.
so as long as the lugs are tightened properly you should never have a problem with it!

Really?! You dont see a problem with this at all?


This is a terrible idea, and I can't believe anyone would even consider doing it. Talk about compromising the structural integrity of the wheel..

Holes are better than cracks but yea, this design seems structurally dubious. They could have been engineered worse but not by much. Besides, they look super tacky. -_-"

The look is for suv's but the bolt pattern seems fine. Means you can go from 4 x 100 to probably 4 x 114.3
