I am new to S2KI and am not too sure about how to post a picture but I will try after I get them installed.

They are one-piece wheels so I believe that the rivets are fake.

I have these wheels. They look nice and no rubbing issues.

Yeah, they are fake. That's why I'm concerned about powdercoating them. Anyone have any intput?

When i ordered them they called and said that the black fronts are on back order and would be several months before they got more, so i just had the front ones painted to match the rear. There were no issues with the rivets and they look nice. I might be selling mine very soon though, so let me know if you're interested.

Also, i'm running stock suspension with the 245/40/17's on the rear and i rub only during very loaded turns (it's pretty rare to rub). However, since it rubs when I'm running stock suspension, it has made me hesitant to go for a coilover setup since I'd be lowered about an inch.

Here you go. The wheels are quite nice. I do rub when going over big bumps but that is rare.

Click on my miniprofile and you can see the wheels on my S2K. One of these days I have to figure out how to get that picture onto my sidebar info. I also can not upload pictures to my album.
