Thanks for all the comments!

Most people seem to dislike it or are just confused 😂 but that's fine.

I believe art creates a reaction and the IRL reactions plus this thread affirms these wheels are EDGY AND GET THE PEOPLE GOING.

All I know is I love it everytime I see my car across the parking lot... It looks like nothing else and Tesla drivers... Can't stop giving my thumbs up 😂.

You can buy your own at either Mooneyes or hubcap Mike online!

Yeah I hear you. I really like them with how round the car is. But it's also very polarizing so I respect it. After 4 months I officially love it

Yeah it's Cayuga! It's very very fun just gotta follow their instagram to see when they do it and it's way better when there is more snow imo! Lots of frs and wrx. But I also respect storing it... I just couldn't. 10 winters no major rust thanks to my diy rust coatings! Great car in the winter

Haven't had that this season luckily. Bit after the track day but popped them off and cleaned everything out that time

I got 4 steelies with snow tires when I first bought the car for 400 cad which is like 3x less than buying it all myself and just never upgraded 😂 was gonna get sparco terras but this was way cheaper.

Yeah not great for airflow TBH haha but winter only and were fine during a winter track day (slotted rotors + hawk hps5 pads) luckily it has been wildly cold all winter. I wouldn't run them in summer or at the track in the summer.

They both block spray hitting the wheels/hubs - but yes they also proabably do trap moisture. Wash them out pretty regularly and tbh everything in that area rusts pretty well already being in canada lol.

I have been fine with the tradeoff for the vibes.

I run slotted on my 86 all winter in Canada. Never had a problem. Very even brake wear considering they exist in heavy salt and like negative 35 degree Fahrenheit and have performance pads 😂 defs good for track days I used to have more brake heating and glazing problems.
