All Billet Specialties wheels are two piece, the centers are machined and welded into a hoop. That allows for a wide range of backspacing available and typically covers anything that a typical protouring car would need. 2 piece wheels are typically lighter than a similar sized 3 piece. 2 piece wheels can be rehooped as well if you were to ever bend one. It is not field serviceable like a 3 piece but it can be done.

Where the 3 piece wheel really shines is the ability to do half inch sizes, you are not married to an off the shelf hoop. Also the ability to do different finishes on the center, inner, and outer hoops can make for some cool finishes.
