^ yessir. I wasn't going to say it, but the rear wheels on that car look horrible. Why do people think it looks good to have so much camber that it looks like your suspension is broken?

I have never been a fan of the look of all the rivets holding the pieces together.

Do the rivets need to be tightened periodically or will they hold over the life of the wheel?

I don't think ya can tighten rivets.

I'm biased, I remember a Vette that went into the wall HARD in Turn 2. When the car came through Turn One the corner workers heard lots of pinging, and then just after turn-in for 2 the car went straight into the armco, at full speed. Later it was discovered the pinging was the sound of rivets coming out and bouncing off the track. The turn-in for 2 was the straw that broke the camel's back, the rim just came apart into pieces. WHAM!

Me no like wheels with rivets, or even the ones with simulated rivets.
