Who makes these rims?

Got these rims, they have american racing center caps but I cant find the rim itself on american racing or anywhere else. Wondering if they are made by someone else or if maybe they are just older so AR doesn't sell them anymore.

You know what I remember those. They actually did stop making them for a specific reason, I saw it on a forum somewhere once. Let me see if I can find it.

wait... nm.. it was because they sucked .... hehe



In all seriousness, you would likely find those rims at used tire places as they have probably been out of production for a while.

Re: Who makes these rims?

They were on my 89 when I bought it and I swapped them over to the 87. Wasn't the biggest fan of them but alot of people compliment them. ehhh.
I see them on wranglers and conversion vans occassionally haha.
Just trying to figure out the model.

Re: Who makes these rims?

they havent made these wheels for a while. but i see them on the road quite often. i bet you can find em on craigslist for the low. im sure american racing still has the center caps in stock if you ever need new ones.
