I resized these, hope they look better than the ones I took when it was about to be dark...I like these wheels so far, I think I still miss my 19's more! I plan on taking my 19's and having them painted silver then putting them back on....

what do people mean by "2-piece" and "3-piece" wheels?

Nice car, by the way

you see the beadlocks on the wheels? the inner rim part actually bolts to the outer rim parts, thus making it a multi 2 piece rim.

well technically one peice wheels are better.. A lot of 2 peice wheels bend easier from pot holes and get damaged easier. They are generally more expensive, but about %75 of the people I have talked to usually like 1 peice wheels better.. they are both nice tho and I am actually looking for a 2 peice wheel myself but thats because I'm a dumbass..

I think the multipiece rims can be made lighter that a single forged piece.
