In the end its a forgestar issue that isn't passed on to their dealers. IMHO $0.02

HTH
Different lugs don't bother me, but I'd rather have hubcentric wheels because of some balancing issues I've had in the past. Also, those plastic hubcentric rings deteriorate from heat over time. I am curious why they don't use stainless steel like some other manufacturers. Thanks for the info. They do look great though.

On the rings they use either metal or plastic depending on the hub diameter. Forgestar selection, not end user appearently, is based on thickness and the resulting weight gain. These wheels are strong and light weight.

Is this the semi-concave?
