Hi Scott,

Not trying to be too much of a wheel nerd but those Style 5s are 2 piece wheels and I agree they are very pretty.
Actually, they call them "3-piece" because of the hub cover... Silly, but yeah... 2-piece wheel, and a hub cover that finalizes the spokes.

I had the same thought back when I got them...

Ah, one piece is the tire, another is the rim, and the third is the hub caps?
8-piece counting the lug nuts.

Glad to see Scott you are gathering the parts to jump start a great project!

Hah!! Actually on Style 5's the rim is separate from the spoked hub. And then they have the silly hub cap... so not counting the tire, but including the lug nuts it IS 8 pieces!!
