The 'wide-fives' each have 12 rivets, as can be seen clearly in the third & fourth wheels from left....all are wide-fives. The second picture clearly shows the size of the hole for the valve stem. As I said earlier, I simply bead-blast the inside of wheel (where the air goes), and dab a little JB WELD around each rivet. Coop
