I don't see enough provisions for making the hardware more subtle, personally. Flush mounted hardware, shallow heads, etc. On some wheels, the big bolts work wonders. I love the way they look on my GM Prototype wheels. But a lot of the time they just look bad. Id say if there were more choices on how that hardware looked, the 3-piece wheel would be more popular.
That's just my opinion, though.

Ditto, probably the main reason we are not looking at any three piece stuff is because of the hardware. My Dad does not like that look, plus he hates the prospect of keeping the areas around that hardware clean. If you are driving the car the area around these fasteners will collect dirt. Anyway, if that hardware could be done differently it may open up the market.
