does anyone have good or bad experience with american racing wheels??thanks for any input

 

THey have a good reputation. I can't remember hearing of any negative comments on them.

 

thanks for the response wandell

 

I have them and love them. I know many of my friends have them as well. No negatives here! They are a very nice wheel for the price!

 

I have a set on the 92. I would buy them again.

 

I'm very happy with mine.

 

I've got 2 set's of them now and have had no problem's. My first set of American's was some Torque-Thrust one's way back in 1967 mounted on a 1966 GTO with 14" wheel's.

 

Well in less than 1 year( still under warranty), my chromed American Racing rims were starting to pit pretty badly in the "window area"

The guy at Discount tires said I would probably be told that since I live on the gulf coast, that the reps from AR would try to blame it on salt air. Discount wouldnt honor the warranty since it was not his "in house brand" so i'd have to drive to the dealer about 50 miles away and have them "inspect them"

I wasnt about to drive across houston to be screwed around, so I still have them on the truck,,,,lesson learned Polished clear coated aluminum from now on, and not AR brand

 

i had a set of ar chromes atlas rims on my 92 chevy 4x4
and i put em through hell
polished em back up and re sold em like they were brand new. no complains
have bought again ( shelby razor six's )

 

Chrome atlas on mine, they started pitting really bad for me....I dont even drive on the beach AT ALL.....so i assume salted roads up north shold have the same problems ....right
