They're real one off rims. They're the normal ring but the centers are special plexiglass. Pretty much only for show since one bump and they would crack/shatter.

that's crazy, i'm amazed that the plexiglass is strong enough to hold the car up..I thought i'd shatter and make the car sit on disk brakes

Plexi?
I doubt it.

I think it's Lexan or polycarbonate.
