I've had people look very closely at mine and they could not tell until I told them where and what to look for. With the bolt on Team III wheels you can tell at a glance. Plus, I prefer to have a bolt on wheel over a spinner retained wheel myself.
Are your inserts aluminum or fiberglass?

I took a look at the Team III wheels last night and they show a neat cover that covers the lug bolts. Looks pretty nice. Unfortunately I already have wheels and tires. I'm thinking I may sell them on eBay and spring for the 17" Team wheels. But I think I will finish my build first and decide later.
