Default Que es ¥ÜM¥JÅGÈR, you said you had a set of the American Racing Vortec Wheels in 15"....

Do you have any pics of them on the car? How did they ride? Are they really that bad of a wheel?

I live near the American Racing Wheel Factory. I see a lot of the AR wheels on older american hotrod style cars, etc... I have a 1966 F100 project truck so I went to visit AR and their wheels look to be well made. I don't know why they have such a bad rap with the german car crowd because the american car guy love em!

But what do I know about wheels?!?! I would much rather have RS4's!! But until we can get them in 4x108 I would like to get something better than my stock 93 15"ers.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=43956&amp;item =2452029882">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=43956&amp;item =2452029882</a</li></ul>

Paying out the *** for replica wheels is just dumb, IMO. I'd rather spend a bit more and go 5 lugs.
