AFX Wheels

[Howie]

For those of you who are building and altered I suggest that you do not use the torque thrust 15x4 from summit or jegs. These wheels have the wrong offset and it does not look correct. There is a company that is making the correct wheels and they are magnesium. They will set you back 895 per wheel but you get what you pay for. Here are a couple of pics to show you what the cheaper wrong offset will look like.

OUCH ! .............Thanks Again for the heads up.


That bad offset makes the $ 895.00 price tag on the correct ones look more attractive,

I will look in the hot rod mag that I found the correct wheels in and post it.

Or you can get these from E-T wheels for 800 a pair.They are aluminum but who cars for street driver.And yes you can get the rim in a satin finish instead of polished.They have the correct zero offset like the original American magnesiums.

Cool thing about the E.T.'s is they don't bleed down due to the porosity of magnesium. Nothing a few coats of clear would not remedy, though.
