Default new wheels something weird ?

hi i just got these wheels today , the kmc rockstars but the bolt pattern looks really weird , i assume that they are drilled to fit a few patterns but looks unfinished .. ive had the rockstars before on a different truck and the bolt holes were painted and finished looking . just looks weird to me . but you wont really see the bolts , their are caps that cover most of the bolts. just wondering what you guys think ? anyone else here with rockstars with the same holes drilled ?thanks

Wow Thats not a whole lot of material between the stud holes. I think that would be a bigger concern than the holes not being painted. I'd be getting on the horn and asking for a set with just one bolt pattern and painted holes.

That's just.. odd. There isn't jack for material between them. That said, I'd like to see pics when you do get a good set put on. I saw those at a local store and thought they might look alright.

I have never seen a wheel drilled like that. Refer to their web page for some idea on how the wheel should look. It may be on there. Good luck. Make sure when you follow up to see about a discount or reimbursment for your trouble. I dont know much, but I know they want to retain your business.

Noticed something else. The top most pair of holes in the first pic, the lug hole on the right is practically into the hole for the cover cap.
