Talking

handle great so far, at first i thought it was sketchy cause the surface area for contact on the wheels torqued against the hub was really small compared to the stock wheels but its suprisinly smooth and great feedback from those tires, goodyear eagle gt's, still in their "break in" period but i'm definitely pleased so far

They look really sharp. I've looked at those Rims countless times (thinking about the red inserts, but always going against it for now)

I noticed.. and actually changed my mind on something that comes apart on my rim... that's all I need is to lose/break one and it would drive me mad

Well, they do give you red,chrome, and carbon fiber... you could in theory paint the chrome red in the event you loose one. im currently toying with the idea of painting the carbon fiber black.

i don't think there is a chance of loosing one, they bolt on pretty tight.
