Dominik,

I had similar wheels on my ERA when I got it. Originally came with fiberglass inserts, which warped some. Replaced with "new and improved" aluminum inserts which fit old style Centerline wheels. Centerline changed their wheels slightly in the rim/center area and the centers don't do it on the new wheels. Make sure what you get will fit the newer Centerlines.

While they look reasonable, it won't fool anyone who knows due to the shape of the outer rim compared to a Trigo etc. And don't expect anything good in a performance aspect either.Overall weight with the wheel, hub, spinner and disc is more than the light weight steel NASCAR wheels I run ontrack now, which are heavier than a Trigo. Under medium to heavy track braking, the disc tends to rotate, working against the air valve. And the Centerline is a solid (no holes) rim, so no brake cooling either.

But for the street, they look great, work great, and cost little. I just thought you were a "light weight" kind a guy.
