Yea their WELDS!! They look good from a distance.
I don't like how the lug nuts (or I should say bolts) wo into the hub. I've broken at least 5 of them, and only driven about 3k on it. I guess it's a bad design or maybe operator error.

I the next year or two I changing the tires and rims. I'm thinking about the torquethrust's or the smoothies, I would like to get 17in rims all the way around.
