Anybody else using these wheels on their BDR? They are great looking and better quality than the replaced ET/Team III lugged wheels, but with the added hub and wheel weight, total unsprung weight went up quite a bit. I can live with it as long as it doesn't create problems for the wheel bearings, etc. as 99.99% of my driving is on the street. But I am interested in other users opinions of their 15 in pin-drives....

48K miles is amazing, I aspire to reach those kind of miles.

I can't answer directly, I went with Vintage 17" last year.
No adverse impact at all, although my car came with pin drive wheels.

My only experience with 15" pin drive wheels was that no one and I mean no one could get the vibration out of them..... annoying....

My current car has fake ones with lug nuts and it is smooth as the proverbial baby's bottom...what a pleasure to drive...

It may have been something else other than the pins...but I will never have any more of them...
