the face on the wheel comes off (see the little bolts)
the lip comes off (see the little bolts)
that leaves you will just the wheel cylinder (not sure of the actual name)

no not at all.

you have move ways to mod or paint or do whatever the fuck you want with your rims.

2-piece is good
3-piece is good also

think of it a modular wheel aloowing for easier replacement of damage components and allowing for eaiser changes to width and offsets...


as far as safety..look @ BBS, they are one of the leading 3 piece wheels builders
