I'm with the majority... show pics of the wheels in any other finish other than chrome, and you might get more interest.

Just my $0.05 worth.

They are light, no doubt... but visual appeal leaves something to be desired...

I do not like the looks of them. But for racing who cares about looks...

The design was function first and form second but I love the look personally. But there is a reason there are hundreds of diferent wheels out there, tastes vary. Here is a wright up of the wheels describing their design:

The Huntley Racing wheels are made for uncompromising performance in the most demanding environments. We start with a forged center designed with the following elements: Strength (ten spokes for better load distribution and forged construction), Lightweight (best weight to strength wheel on the market, often half the weight of the competition!), Air Flow (open spoke design allows for tremendous airflow to the brakes and suspension), Pit Handling (easy hand hold design for the pit crew to grab onto), Price (has to be affordable for the club racer), Serviceable (just in case, we can replace rim sections cheaply!), Style (function does lead to a pretty form!). All DOT testing has been done to assure quality! Standard finish is fully polished centers and outers, which minimizes crack propagation and hardens the surface of the wheel. We can clear anodize or anodize in colors. Powder coating is also available.
