I opted for no rivets/hardware on my wheels for a smoother look.
My car is in for paint right now and we've shaved all the emblems, wheelwell/rocker trim, and even the side marker lights.... going for a smoother look.

Both styles look good IMHO and I'm not normally an exposed hardware-type of guy but I decided to go this route on mine and I'm glad I did.
I'll try to help you out with the pictures Ty but I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers...

Is there a price difference between rivets/hardware & no rivets/hardware?

I let my wife name this one... gave me more time to look at wheels! LOL

At 5 weeks this past Tuesday he weighed in at 12lbs 8.5oz! He's gonna be a linebacker! (c:]

Default Wheels are here!!!

Computer problems delayed me getting these pieces of jewelry posted up before now but here they are: Rushforth SuperSpokes with brushed/cleared centers and polished lips!

Here's the rears: 18x10 w/295/40/18 Falken 615s

I say enough about the quality of these wheels!!! They look like JEWELRY!
I'm chomping at the bit now for my car to get out of paint so that I can get these bad boys mounted and start showing them off!

A special thanks again to JayR for all his advice and phone calls and another big thank you to Jon Henson @ DriverzInc for going way above and beyond the call of duty!
