excellent job! It really looks great!
Let me know what did you get in sizes? Are those 17”x7 or? Tire size? I need both. If you don’t mind letting me know if you got a good deal somewhere? I’m seeing so much variation, and I’m getting so many places pros and cons....beyond even prices out there. Thanks
Ok, so this was a really long process for me for 2 reasons: I want what I want and I'm only doing this once LOL. These are American Racing17x7.5 Anthracite with machined lip AR105 Torq-Thrust M with 215/50/17 Tires.These have more of a gunmetal look and I thought it would compliment the Silver perfectly.
I searched many local shops and websites as many did not have my size or could not order. My favorite local 'mom & pop' tire shop said his supplier was out of stock on this size and CARid gave me an estimated ship date of August, so I didn't really want to wait that long. I stumbled across Tire Rack and figured I'd give them a shot. I filled-in the usual info and would you believe; they had them in stock. I then asked them to verify inventory and fitment since these 2 minor details are always an issue. They confirmed and I couldn't order them fast enough! The wheels were $164 each plus I had a couple extra add-ons; I opted for chrome valve stems for an extra $20 for the set and $116 for a set of TPMS. They included at no charge a set of Gorilla Chrome lug nuts with the socket as well and free shipping for the order. When they arrived, I took them to my tire guy and he installed them for me - obviously since I was buying the tires from him.
I really like the wheels,too. I got the Panel out of winter hibernation last weekend , planning to get it ready for the annual spring cruise to South Carolina.
Was going to visit my 91 year old mother ,who lives in a retirement community, She called last night saying due to the Corona virus No visitors were allowed until further notice. Crap...john
PittKrew- I like those wheels as well. I see them on Ebay right now, & plenty of them, even cheaper than $164. ea..

the wheels on eBay; yes but I did ask sellers and they replied “out of stock, would you like another color?” Many negative feedback replies because they were issued refunds because they were out of stock.

Rims on Ebay: I hadn't checked that deep, they just show many in stock on one seller I looked at.
The wheels are classic, and I agree that you get what you really want, because it’s an investment and you don’t want to have to settle. Excellent job, and looks phenomenal! Perfect fitting slightly retro, and you gotta love that! Congrats on your find! Worth every bit of that effort! 🎉
