Yea there like the first set, but uglier. But they have to be safe if they are for sale.

That last sentence is wrong on so many levels.... Take a look around ebay at all the ridiculous things you can buy that are NOT safe at all.


Also, I didn't give the original pic a good enough look. I didn't realize that they came like that from the factory, but rather just assumed that the owner drilled his own holes in.

Either way, with that small amount of metal in between the holes, I wouldn't trust them AT ALL

Exactly... From the factory or not, I wouldn't trust those... there can't be much more than 1/4" at absolute max of metal between the bolt patterns. Put sticky tires on them and throw them on a car that puts down a decent amount of torque and I bet the studs rip right through that metal in less than a week.
