In keeping with this attitude, I seem to recall that the early i167 and e167s, just prior to release had wheels with open scallops, in Grey…
I don’t think any were released for sale specifically, but thanks to the V1 sale and other sources, there were several sets kicking around for a couple years…
Several people referred to them as the ‘Vegomatic’ wheels, if my memory serves… Alluding to the capacity to slice and dice your fingers if you were to insert them at an inappropriate time…
