I think it's called a "time attack" stripe....and it really sets those wheels off....can you get the first ones without the cheesy rivets?

Whenever someone mentions wheels I feel compelled to plug CCW. CCW builds an absolutely top quality, made in the USA product and their customer service (before, during and after the sale) is great. You can rely on CCW...John is a true wheel expert. You may prefer another brand but if you haven't already, I recommend you at least checkout what CCW offers.
I completely agree with Wayne on this one when you're talking about a high dollar set of wheels....IE: HRE,I-Forged,etc. CCW's are arguably just as good as those for hundreds of dollars(sometimes more) less.

But the wheels the OP is looking at,while nice,are not in the same league,price wise & quality,as the others. You can buy 4 sets of these wheels for what a set of CCW's cost. HRE'S and some the others 5 or 6 sets.

I'd be a little worried about the fact that this photo was taken to showcase this wheel......and there's black overspray all over the side of it

Now if someone could photoshop these wheels on my car...That would be sweet. I know..I know...It would be sweet if I learned to use photshop....haha

I just had a thought, maybe you can get the wheels with the rivets in black like the rest of the wheel. They would be there but wouldn't jump out at you.

Black, Machined Face, without the lip machined... makes the wheels appear to be 1"+ larger than they actually are!

I don't like the "rivet" look either. Also that must be a pain in the a$$ to clean.
