    Brotha Dub,

    I'm usually not into the spike thang but they look real nice.

    Are they pressed in or threaded? It looks like they went into existing holes on the rim so what did you have to drill?

    Thanx T man...
    What look like existing holes are just decorative indents, made centering the drill bit E-Z...
    The studs are threaded on the inside, & held on from the back side of the rim by...what else?...stainless cap screws...

    Oh, & let's not forget...a little loc-tite.

    It's only the webbing between the spokes, didn't drill through anything that's crucial to keeping compressed air on the inside...
    Each hole is only large enough to accept a stainless 8-32 cap screw.

    I never understood why people keep things the same and never personalize.

    Because most people have no personality to begin with. And then there are people like Ldub, who have an abundance!!
