i would think something far more hi-tech studio stuff to clear out something like that

Curious to see if they show up at SEMA...

but still is it true something that thin can really hold up? i guess it could be little reinforcements for the plastic clear plate.. weird thing is, i wonder how much you have to torque those wheels on there. i would think the hub of the rim would crack if the nuts were torqued too hard

bean, im not saying that they dont exist, but if they in fact did, and ppl on here saw this thread before they went down to sema, wouldnt you think that that would have taken some pictures of the rims.
If they are true, I couldnt stand them, just because you would see all the road and brake grime all over the "rim".

^ I agree, it is odd that people here saw them but didn't take pictures. But some other's have snapped some shots. I was laughing b/c there was even a picture of them on the FJ Cruiser forum .
But from what I have read they are not supposed to be used on the road for obvious reasons. Mainly supposed to be show use only...
