I Love These Wheels, Anyone have them?

I just came across these wheels, I have never seen another member with them, American Racing Longboard Wheels. They are sweet, but too expensive!

Thumbs up

I checked on these exact wheels a couple months ago too. They are still available as far as I know. They had sizes from 16x8 up to 18x10 for 4th gens. I think that the 18x10's cost around 300 a wheel. Not for sure on that price since its been a couple of months but they did have them in correct sizes and offsets for the 4th gens, which means they should be fairly easy to find. I hadn't seen them on any other memebers car, thats why I was interested in them also. They did say on the phone that no custom offsets were available for them, as in a 17x11 which I was interested in. Things may have changed since then. If anyone knows, let us know, I'd still be interested in these if I ever had enough money to buy new rims.

For those interested they did have 17x9.5 and supposedly the 18x10 were available for the front and rear. I didn't know that an 18x10 could fit on the front, but they said it would. What tire size can you run with an 18x10 on the front? Anyone got them on their ride?

Sorry, the pics aren't the greatest. I took them at the Detroit Autorama last year. The car is pretty awesome in person, and those wheels were definately nice.

Ok I went to discount BUT,they do NOT have the 18x10's anymore all they have left are 17x8 should be pretty cheap though considering when I priced the 18x10 they quoted me 130 a wheel...
