hey there, i got some american racing wheels and im trying to find out what they are. what i mean is the name of the wheel i have attached a pic please let me know any info on these wheels will help and also if any of you guys own them and have them on a 3rd gen i would love to see that too.

thanks. tony.

 

there has to be someone out there that has seen these rims before? and if so do you know the name of the rim?

thanks. tony.

 

heres a quick photoshop of the wheels on the car, let me know what you think.

thanks. tony.

 

anyone?

 

looks alright,, kinda like the stock rs wheels. wold look better if they were bigger

 

I have some american racing wheels almost like that. Kind of triangle shaped 5 spokes. I'll prob make a thread but need to know what they are so I can get one more to make a set.

 

yeah im trying to find out what there called as well.

thanks. tony.

 

I gave up after a while. I have the same set in white, on my supra.

Now that I think about it, have you checked it for proper bolt pattern?? If I remember correctly, my supra is a mustang pattern- 4 1/2.

 

the owner that have these wheels he bought an 87 iroc back in 1997 and had these rims on the camaro he told me he tooked them cause they did not go with a white car, and he bought the original irocs and he put these rims in storage ever since, so i know they will fit the car.

thanks. tony.

 

oh, good. mine must be a different bolt pattern.

 

Looks like you need to bark up the Mustang tree... Saleen used them.

I'm sure searching in that direction you'll find the actual name/model number somewhere.

This says they were #223... maybe.

i appreciate all the help MADMAX, that should answer a lot more of my questions.

thanks. tony.

 

any other info people could dig up or might know off.

 

Ok Tony..i should be able to solve your problem..lol

YOUR wheels..are NOT American Racing. They are made by a brand called RONAL. Here is a pic of Ronal Wheels i found, and they are IDENTICAL to the ones you have posted. I think you wheels must have random "makeshift" AER caps.



And these wheels here...are the American Racing Wheels you must think you had. Easy to mix up. But this wheel is called the American Racing Rebel i believe.



Im conviced dude...look at the wheel you have..and the first wheel pic i posted...you have a set of Ronal wheels there.

 

Oh and as far as the style or model name..i believe that model wheel is called the R9. Dont quote me on that tho...hope that helps bro.

 

hey Longmire92RS, if you look at the R9's in your pic and you look at mine, there are not the same lip, cause american racing made some of these for the 80's saleens, or so.

look under "American Racing 5-spoke" they look like those.

Thanks, Tony.

 

WOW...well then i stand corrected...lol...wasnt even aware of the saleen wheel. I thought the Ronal wheel was their original design. I guess we learn something new everyday..lol
