i personally only halfway like the hotswaps. and a warning to those who like them. they are ALREADY WILDY POPULAR! i saw them on 5 cars and my last SCION ONLY carshow. that means alotta fools have them! but at least they are buying those instead of my Konig Unknowns. im tired of seeing my rims on everybody elses car. Konig makes great rims but they turn into ****** cuz u see them on every car.
however i think the swappable parts on the hotswaps look really cheapo. ESPECIALLY the Carbon Fiber LOOK spokes. def not diggin that set.

i was just about to open a topic for this.. so with bought them for my moms car ( i already have rims)
and.. it was $1400..
we dont have the red spokes yet... maybe next week ( i dont want to paint it... i dont like custom paint jobs..)...
but i photoshopped the silver spokes and its gonna looks badass...
here is a pics:
*click on the small pics...
so its look good, i mean its gonna look good with the red spokes.. but this hotswap thing is funny... feels like a cheap toy..... an ebay rims or something...
first: those swapable spokes are plasticks...
and.. what we have is a bit different what u guys posted earlier... we have a big plastic center hub.. so u guys cant see the lugnuts... so.. if u want to take off the wheel.. u have to take off ALL THAT FREAKIN spokes.. wich is screwed on that plastick center cover!!! and i didnt finish:
the outter of the spokes have some double sided tape... and u have to use it because i tried it without them, so i just sreced them on the center hub and the outer side of the spokes was loosy and they were moving around!!! so u have to use that included double sided tape.. so when u take off all the screws.. then u have to rip it off all that spokes!!!! can u believe this?? this is LOL!!!
remove the 5 screw from the inner side of the spoke, then remove the screw from the center hub.. then rip all the spokes off.. and now u can remove the wheel... btw what u guys linked and photoshopped to green is better than what we have,,,

there is two kind of hotswaps.. one of them is like on that picture.. and one of them is like.. they have a big cover thing to cover all the lugnuts, etc... DONT GET THAT!!!!!! because its pain in the ___!!! u have to take off all that frikkin inserts all the time when u want to take off the wheel! the one on the pics what u just showed looks even better what we have.
