That is how the 5zigen wheels lugs came. I have seen setups like the ones you've mentioned though. Maybe Rays lugs are that way?
Dezau looks good...+25 worked out pretty good for you it seems. I will however disagree with you about the deep concave. My rears look delicious.
I'm with DanOMite a little bit, even though I am a late comer to the Work party. Look at the wheels I USED to have though.
I would not like to see the CR Kai's go the way of the Enkei RPF1...but at the current price point that shouldn't happen anytime soon.

Ok so I painted my wheel centers because they were absolutely horrid. The rust was killing me. Obviously I have more to do but it looks better. I need some suggestions on what to do with the calipers. The rotors were painted by the Mazda dealer in the beginning of the year based off of the TSB. I am planning on getting new rotors but I might do something with them until then. The rust you see around the painted centers are the dust I didn't clean off.
So...what color should I get the calipers painted???

Black is kinda boring to me...maybe I'll check Blue out...
I've seen a couple of SS 8's with red calipers like the guy with the SSR wheels...I just feel like the SS doesn't have alot of options in some cases.

Personally doesn't bother me, if you see them in person the size makes it clear that they aren't lug holes. CE28n's, RE30's, the entire Work Emotion series, etc all have holes

Well, Silver was my first choice but Blue sounds interesting. I don't think it would be bad at all...I just didn't want my car to start to have a theme.

The blue idea is starting to grow on me...I'll try to mock up something on Photoshop. I'll take it to a shop and get it done for hopefully not that much. I know there are kits but I won't have have my house with a garage for another 2 weeks! Can't wait! My car is always parked on the street....BOO.

I knew that lugs couldn't go through him, but I believe Nuke just doesn't like the holes...I don't even notice them.

I say keep the calipers dark, painted calipers remind me too much of the rice movement or trying to look like something aftermarket. Maybe a subtle dark blue, if anything. This is all IMO though...

I was just commenting to Nuke, he initially thought they were for a different lug patter...

I like to avoid rice as much as possible.

Well, The wheels clean very well with just water and a rag...you don't want to use a wheel cleaner on these. Not that it will damage the wheels, but it is unnecessary. As for other members...they may use something else. Ask Dan-o-mite.
