my opinion is not only do they look cheap and ugly, but they look to weak to handle the kind of power the supra puts down, or can put down anyway. seriously though. I would be to scared you would have problems with them cracking around the center. I guess if you have like a little daewoo or even honda it might be nothing to worry bout.

Lots of hateraide drinkers in this thread...

At least it's not the 4 and 5 lug universals (now THOSE are ugly). It's about symmetry. On my wheels it looks fine since they're 10 spoke, they look goofy on others.

Have a look at the back of a wheel before you say that. Hint: it's usually hollowed out between the lugs.

I have had a look at the back of a wheel, and I know that they are hollowed out. But there is a difference between being slightly shallower in depth versus being completely drilled through leaving an open space, therefore leaving a smaller area to handle the stresses involved increasing the potential for failure. Its ok though. I understand, you own some and feel offended. No one was trying to offend you. peace.

I own these, and like them.
WOW on the vehemence in this thread, because wheels have an extra set of holes, lol.

The multi 5 doesn't look bad at all. Also, I know there are some that have center caps or covers for the middle section and if that's the case, does it matter? I'd PREFER getting the proper fitment myself, but a multi 5 pattern wouldn't completely put me off a set of wheels.

It's all a matter of opinion, you can't expect everyone to like them. Get what ever you want and like.

To answer your question, I don't like them. I don't like it when wheels are designed to have caps either. That is why I'm gonna get a set that has the things that I do like, and you should get something that meets your needs (what ever you define that as), too. It's money wasted and will cause you to regret it if you don't.
