They're also heavier than 1-piece wheels, but stronger. My favorite 3-piece wheels are O.Z. Superleggera IIIs.

I'd run away very fast from any wheel company selling multi-piece wheels that tells you you have to tighten them all the time! I'm pretty sure if you spend $1000-plus per wheel for Forgeline, Kinesis, Fikse, iForged, HRE, etc, etc, you can bet all those little bolts holding them together won't come loose.

well, my Dad has 3 pcs rims on his Mercedes and he makes sure they are really tight every yar before he puts them on the car. I would say it's just part of maintanance.
I personally would not get those wheels, even though they do look good.

Exactly, Not a chance you would pay that much for a wheel that could possibly come apart. There would be alot less people running 3 piece wheels on their expensive cars if this were the case.
