Not really. Unless they are real two/three piece rims. I am not a fan of wheels with fake fasteners "holding them togher". If they didn't have those fake bolts, I think they'd be very nice...like the styling otherwise.

I don't know the weight. I pulled the pic off tirerack.com. I just wanted to get some opinons. I almost bought those instead of what I got.

I have heard bad things about those wheels. Alot of people, not just a couple people had problems with the rims cracking or just plain out breaking. I liked how they looked on certain cars until I heard all the problems with them. Just a little info for you.

Sorry:( You asked and I told you what I have heard. That was about 6 months ago, so maybe they did something about the problems they were having. You know that I am talking about the first ones pictured, not the ones on your car now. I haven't heard anything about those. Does that make you feel better;)

They're decent...not a fan of the "rivet" look tho.

Oh ok. I thought you were talking about the brand in general. Now I feel better. Thanks for clearing that up.

I wasn't gonna buy the top ones. I just wanted to see if everyone liked them or not.

The whole reason I bought the ones I did, was because tire racks car of the month that month was the pro5. They had a picture in road & track with the wheels on it, and I knew they would look good.

I've got a question for you... when you bought them off tirerack.com, did you get the rubber with it too? Do you have any rubbing, or does tirerack only give you a selection that will PERFECTLY fit the car. Just curious. Thanks in advance.

The price I qutoed was with rubber. They suggested a tire size. I took their suggestion. I have had no rubbing in the 3 or 4 months I've had the wheels. The car doesn't look jacked up or anything with these wheels. I've had alot of people ask me if my car was lowered. It's not.
