THE WAY THESE RIMS ARE DESIGNED ARE VERY POOR. WATER GETS TRAPPED INSIDE THE RIM ROTS THEM OUT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WHEN ALL IN A SUDDEN, THE PART OF THE RIM THAT HAS THE 8 HOLES WHERE YOU WOULD BOLT THE RIM TO THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE DRUM PART OF THE RIM, THE TIRE WENT FLAT, AND VEHICLE STOPPED. AND TO EVEN GET TO THE ACTUAL LUG NUTS, I HAD TO DESTROY THE CHROME FACE TO GET TO THEM BECAUSE THEY SHIFTED WHEN THE RIM SEPARATED FROM 8 BOLT PATTERN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY I DIDN'T CAUSE MYSELF OR ANYBODY ELSE ON THE ROAD ANY HARM OR EVEN DEATH. AFTER SEEING THAT, I REPLACED ALL 4 RIMS AND TIRES, A $1500 BILL I WASN'T PLANNING ON BUT GOT TO BE SAFE FOR MY SAKE AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD.
