The Alpines are probably 1 piece. The WM-01's I got are 1 piece, I'll have to drill for the fronts. Also my WT-38's didn't have a hole drilled either and they're 3 pieces so I'll have to do all those. There's a non marring parts holder in MicroMark that I'll need to get now, don't want to scratch these puppies along with some Micro drill bits !!!! Man I can't tell you how much $$$ I've done in this hobby since December. No budget makes it real scarey.

If you examine them closely, there are a lot of 1 piece wheels...
WT33, WT34, WT25, WT41?, WT28, WT37, WT69, WM02, etc

My WT46 and WT56 were both one piece and the insert for the WT56 was gold not silver like in their picture.

my Audi Rallye Sport Quattro rims (yea they spelled rally that way)
where not painted either.

I don't have a before picture. I sprayed the White.

and I did the Elmer Mod, I want the centers to match the car color.

I don't mind the gold hub, looks like it's the hub to hide lug nuts
... I just said lug... and nuts...

I think they look damn hot in white.. As far as I know, they all come un-painted..

They look better when they're painted by the owners anyways..

i like the silver lip, i think it's a good contrast... i also like the idea of painting it all white too... i'm torn

well you do have a couple of sets, you could do it both ways if you'd like i suppose...
