from the pic it looks like the spokes come out further. that's my only beef with the LD-1s... sometimes they look smaller than they really are.

enginyr,

If you are buying LD1's get the 3 piece version.. On the GS you need the lip action to make your ride look SICK.. Plus if down the line you have a run in with a evil pot hole or curb rash you can fix a three piece alot easier than a one piece unit..

Just food for thought.. BTW how much cheaper is the one piece model compared to the 3-piece??

They lip is actually bigger on the one piece and its a very significant difference. I have no worries of bending rims rolling on 19's for a couple months.

3pc simply looks better than 1pc IMO.

the three piece looks nice in my opioin
but the one piece look larger

maybe they are iono


but i also think three peice are going to be easier to bend
vs one piece
even if three piece is easier to get fixed

I have seen the 3 piece rims. They do look nicer than the one piece IMHO.
