yes that's what CG calls them but they are made by ACE and are called "slick".

anyways, they look great but seem to stick out a little past the flare. have you thought of bringing them in a half inch or so?

Didn't realize that. The slick wheels I've seen posted look like they have sharper spokes. Thought about it b/c everyone thinks they should be in. I like the look so I'm leaving it.
