I bought a SS with the black ZO6 wheels with polished lip and rivets. I hated them. I put a 5/16 socket on the Makita and turns out they are just plastic and press fit. Had the wheels powder coated flat black. You can see the holes and probably looks like ****, but I like it better than those faux rivets!! I'll get a pic up tomorrow from near and far.
