Thanks for the input guys and i feel the same way. I once bought some used GSR blades a while back and while they were "mint" looking ie no curbage/scrapes/scratches/etc two of the wheels didnt hold air...turns out they were ever so slightly bent. Now id rather purchase new when it comes to wheels and other critical components. Anyways i was just curious about the wheels...they definately arent common to see on Hondas imo. What I do wonder is are they bad in the sense that no air flow goes to the brakes/rotors?

I don't think these would be used in a race application, so I do not think that brake cooling and ventilation would be an issue.

Those Garcias look gross imo. Almost like someone diy'ed some wheel covers. The work Leadsled look badass on the other hand.
