By coincidence, I just purchased a set of these wheels (received them
yesterday). The more I look at them, the more I like them. They caused me
little or no sleep last night as I deliberated over how they should be
finished -- pretty much deciding to paint the spokes the same as the body
color. Now if I could only find three more center caps like the one I
have -- It's a fake 6-sided 2" nut -- Anyone have such a thing?
With regard to the recent "wheel weight" thread -- these are magnesium 6"
wide wheels weighing in at 11 pounds.
