Hey those look an awful lot like Alpina Softlines
if you like that look I'd suggest you call up Alpina and see about either 17" or 18" softlines. The valvestem is behind the center cap...where there's less centripital force, it's far less likely to break at high speed etc. A very nice wheel...my buddy has them on all 3 of his Alpina B8 4.6's (Coupe recently crashed, Wagon & Convertible)

Hrmm... I haven't broken a valve stem yet...
I've seen the Alpinas; they're a little different. I can't say I lke them as much, with the lugs covered and all.
And hey, you said centripital force. You got it right this time. ;-)
