don't really like them full stop
but, if you do, thats what's important 
could you get some kind of rubber grommets to block the spare holes off?

I don't like either of them. Then again as already said if you like them what does it matter what others think?
More importantly which are the lightest?

My only reservation is not looks but that they bow outwards. One kerb and they will look sh*t.
Toyos have rim protection on the tyre sidewall, but the bow outwards will go beyond that.
I have team dynamics 1.2 pro race wheels and the rims are well inside the tyre rim protection.

Fair point about rim protection and them curving out, wasn't planning on getting that close to the kerb, but then i suppose you never do.

Locost Vs. Looks
Some times concessions MUST be made.
I think Wheels is one of them...
If you go cheap, every single time you approach the car, you will regret it.
If you go the OZ way you will be happy you did every single time yo go near
I call that the GRIN Factor...

Thank guys, i hadn't thouight oo much about the Grin Factor but it makes pefect sense.
and with regards to the weight, i can't find any figures for these wheels.
most team dynamics are fairly lioght weight, but there is always an exception i suppose.

My wheels were chosen for being light weight not for their looks, and at £34 each for 7 x 15 108 pcd 35mm offset I think they were rather
cheap......

Direct from Rim Stock the weekend after their factory open day
Just wait for their next sale...
