American Racing rims quality?
 
How is AR's quality? the set i'm interested in is the Burn in 22 inch

well I would love to get me some HRE, DPE, 360FORGED and WORK. AR has some very attractive pricing even in 22 and i like the above rims.

Can anybody that have own AR rims comment on their quality?

American Racing makes many brands of wheels..they also make around 63% of the Car Mfgs wheels that you see on the road every day...

AR makes a lot of wheels - you shouldn't have any quality issues. They may not be the lightest wheels tho...

Give www.thewheelgroup.com a try, they just opened a location in Langley last Dec and has similiar wheels for cheap. Should be a great alternative from AR.

What vehicle are you looking at these wheels for?

My buddy who manages auto body shop told me AR has pulled out of Canada.

its going to be on a fx35.

^^ regarding AR pulling out of Canada, I think I'm going to order the wheels from the states as it much cheaper.

tough call cuz of the exchange rate.

canadian prices finally adjusted to match US prices, but i donno if they readjusted back to their original markups.

RenoMan 03-09-2009 04:22 AM
