Had these rims for a couple of weeks. The rims come with a plastic center cover that covers the lug nuts. It's held on by one screw. The spokes attach to the center cover with screws from behind. You have a choice of plastic chrome looking or black spokes to put on your rims. The center cover and spokes are now screwed together, so you then place the cover and spokes onto the rims and screw each spoke into the rim at the very end of the spoke. Then you tighten lightly the screw that holds the center cover. Some of the screw holes don't line up and it's a real pain to get them onto the rim.
The plastic spokes stayed on until it got cold. My truck is in a warm garage, but when I drove it in 18 degree weather, all the spokes busted and even the center caps fell off. The spokes obviously shrank and contracted from going from heat to cold. Most everyone of them busted.
I would never buy another rim that had any plastic on it if you live anywhere cold. Besides that, these rims are poorly designed. Way to many screws to attach and some of the holes don't line making it impossible to attach the spokes.
If you have a flat tire, you have to take all these spokes off to get at the lug nuts. If you don't have your little wrench to do that, your screwed.
I asked Tirerack if I could return the the rims and buy some rims that don't have any plastic on them. They said no. I'm screwed because even the center cover won't stay on and the rims look like crap without it.
Don't buy these rims.
