All other parts of the wheel are forged 6061t aluminum

"A technique known as bezel setting which only master diamond setters can know, is where the diamonds are just slightly larger than the bezel they are set into, and held in place by pressure. Much the same way the diamond is set into a bezel setting, the polycarbonate center is set into the forged aluminum hoops with precision machining and a jeweler’s touch."

I don't like em. When you can only see the outer rim, and it looks like there's nothing holding the rim together, it looks cool. When you can actually see the polycarbonate, it looks like crap.

I'd rather spend my money on a set of Volks or Work rims. I'm pretty sure these bad boys would be in the same price range, if not more.
