50/50. I like the concave style of the rim, but would look better without the oval holes in between the spokes..

Looking...
NO. Just weird for me personally. Plus, take about a nightmare to clean every hole around the dish of the rim.

Nah looks easy, the holes are really just half circles, and you can stick a finger and rag in there

Those wheels look like they serve more than one purpose, the sporty look, lightweight possibly, durability, and extra ventilation for the brake calibers. It appears that those angled slots provide some sort of breather for the brakes. I think the wheel looks nice, but I would rather do without the angled grooves.
