Custom HRE Style Rim/Tire Camaro/Firebird/Vette 17x9.5/17x11

Front 17x9.5"
Back 17x11 "
Custom wheels for 93+ f-body.

Front Tires - 275/40/17 BFG Comp TA Tires With decent life left. Been mounted on the front wheels for a few years. Still have decent tread.

Rear Tires - 315/35/17 Sumitomo HTR Tires with 3,000 miles on them ( Were brand new mounted day before the hot rod power tour 2005 I left my buddy Mike with black LS1 trans am use them for the power tour he bought the rear tires.)

These wheels were made by American Racing Equipment ( ARE / American Racing for short )

They were produced some years ago, are not in production anymore.

These wheels in the back have a VERY DEEP LIP NEAR 3"
Front wheels have a decent sized lip about 2" and fit very nice in the fenderwall. Rears stick out a little bit to show the meat of the tires.

One front wheel is bent, can be repaired, local shop told me 50-80 bucks to do all work. I just have never went and had it done, I took these wheels off my camaro a few years ago , when I bought my welds. I ran these wheels daily for over three years and they were very unique and I never saw another F-body with them on there. So if you want to be one of a kind and don't have the money to spend on HRE or CCW , here is a cheaper alternative.

Mike ran these wheels and said the vibration was not that bad, only really noticable on the highway between I think he said 65-75 somewhere in that area.

overall condition of the wheels is pretty good , some minor scratches, one of the rear wheels has the lip nicked , but not very noticable.

I had these wheels on my Red Ta for a few months, I liked the look very much so, it was different, when I went back to stock look people were like that was a stupid move...

Price brand new was around 400 each wheel , they were a custom make style wheel made for f-bodys, designed from BBS style BMW fittings, from what I was told who I bought them from a few years ago.

900.00 for the set wheels and tires , recently all rebalanced on a top of the line hunter machine. and available for local pickup. or if someone works something out with me I might be able to meet you somewhere. I can ship, but it will be actual costs. I don't need to tack on anything for them other then some packing supplys if needed so they don't get scratched.
