I am looking for a set of 15 x 4.5 x 4.5 front runners for my coupe everyone says their on back order till may 2012 this is crazy are the ships from china that slow . if anyone has a set for sale let me know gray centers please
Might have some 8.5 with 4 inch BS or maybe even 8 inch with a 3.75 BS. Won't know for sure until I get to the shop tomorrow morning. To be honest, pretty doubtful as most of our wheels are 5 on 4.5 BC, but we do wind up with some GM wheels that customers order and never pick up. I know I have 2 15 x something TT in a GM pattern, just not sure what width. Might even be 15 x 7.
Sad to say but a lot of what was once American made wheels are coming in from China now. Halibrand went that route some ago as well.
May 2012! Damn, we have had a set on back order since September, tire store keeps telling us anyday. Maybe it's time I go get my money back.
Man the sad part is that we have lost a lot of the pattern makers foundrys and ability to do this for ourselfs because all of us want cheaper. The sad part is we are all guilty any time you buy something in this country chances are it is an import even some vintage equipment was made in japan now it's china !!sorry sad but true !!My American made motorcycle would be about 70 percent gone if it was not for all the import parts same for our American cars !! Thats why I love vintage tin but my new rear panel and some of my parts came here in containers !!
They (AR) are all over the place. We have some custom AR-500's on order that should have been here in 6 weeks. That was 12 weeks ago. We ordered some custom Shelby Cobra knock offs and were told 8-10 weeks. Customer said OK. They showed up in 3 weeks. WTF? LOL
I've heard that the 15X4.5 are not going to be produced any more with a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. Try Scott at ET Wheels. They have a 15X4 that is very close to the original Americans.
I didn't want to believe it, but that's going to change also.... The center caps on the torq thrust should read "china racing" instead!
