Real plastic bolts, yes

They repeatedly told me they use only plastic bolts that are press fit in all their wheels for liability reasons.

Nobody would know if they were real of not just by looking at them. At least they would never rust? Thought you liked the wheel until I disclosed this info Gegg? Lol

Bottom line.

They look just fine with the plastic bolts. If you can find a way to replace them, awesome. If not, they are still the best looking wheel by far. Go with it.

Do you think I could run a 12 wide wheel? Lol Because I like the way the above Bolt looks with the deep lip.

The center cap isn't even too bad.

I'm cutting the NFabs off as we speak. They were installed with carriage bolts and of course they are rusted and just keep spinning.

They have to be stripped and recoated in either LineX or a textured powdercoat, rust is starting to show surprisingly. So I could actually gave them cut shorter before they're coated.

I would except they're not due out until June. Kind of hard to buy them when they're not available yet.
