What the hell was Intro Forged thinking when they "cleverly" put that air valve in the middle if the rim half. Did they not think about that people may be wanting to put air in or take out depending on the tire pressure when the wheel is ON the car?
Who is the smart bloke that thought that one up?
The wheels, while very stylish, would be out of consideration in my book just because of this reason. Not only can't you fit large Brake systems with this setup since the caliper would take out the valve during the wheel's first rotation, but you'd have to wait for your caliper/rotor to cool off before you can even think of putting air in.
sorry for the rant.

I have plenty of access to mine. And I can fit my digital tire pressure gauge in there just fine.
