Yep 5 wheel bolts.


you do realize that the rings just 'center' the wheel on the hub, and it doesnt actually provide any load capability (most are made of a synthetic material)... The load capability isnt even necessary in a non racing application.

Way too small yeah right. Rims look sick. Size is perfect. I have 18s and definitely think 19s is just about right. Very nice and original
