Default To Rivet or Not To Rivet
That is my question.

I personally have rivets on my wheels. I don't like or dislike them enough to care. I was just curious on the Forums feelings on them.

Iforged Astras look great with rivets imo. Depends on wheel and car. Some look good others look really bad.

well those really aren't rivits, those are wheels srews to hold the tire to the wheel. but if you are talking about a wheel like the CCW classic those are actually wheel bolts that bolt the center of the wheel to the hoop

Unless you plan on lifting your car on 35's and doing some off-roading, I say stay away from rivets.
