center line makes one that is close.
Centerline makes the centers for Billet Specialties.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
That's why they look similar, they are just opposite in design. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif)
But the outer rim part could be made by anybody.. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)

Billet Specialties asked me to send them back for evaluation. Apparently they want to inspect for abuse and/or road damage before they offer to replace them. I have not asked them if they implemented any design improvements to prevenbt this from happening again. I want to wait to have the new rims in hand before I unleash. I will update and keep everyone posted when I recieve more info. This is a huge safety concern for me and should be for everyone else.
FWIW - My rims are about 4 years old and out of the warrantee period. The car spent most of the last 4 years in storage and being painted. Very little run time on these rims.

I was thinking about getting the Billets for my Roadrunner, but since Centerline has a simular set I'll go with them.

I've got probably 400 passes and a few thousand street miles on my billet specialties without issue. I've driven the car to work everyday this week FWIW.
