Default American Racing wheels???

Anyone have the AR Chamber 3985 wheels? I'm getting these in a 16x8 4.5 backspacing and would like to see pics if anyone has them on. or any feedback as to how you like them or not.

Those are damn good looking wheels. Only problem is they aren't producing them in our bolt pattern yet, even though they are advertising them for sale on some web sites. I was told by one of those sites that AR is still at least a couple months out from even starting to drill them in our bolt pattern.

I hope I'm wrong about that, but I tried to order some from a few different vendors and got the same answer from all of them. I wanted to buy a set of those for my wife's X.

RedRockJK, thanks for the reply. Sorry that might not have sounded right when i said "that's not right" I wasn't saying your info is wrong... just meant that i think if a product is showing in a catalog or website and it can be ordered then it should be a product available and ready to ship out granted it isn't such a hot item that it is backordered due to supply and demand. I don't know what i'm talking about. It's late and i'm tired! lol

RedRockJK,

I ordered just 1 to start with b/c i want to see if i like it enough b4 ordering 4 more... if not, i can just send it back i guess. when i ordered mine no one told me anything about it not being available now. i guess i will find out how long it takes to get it in.

qtec is notorious for that. don't get me wrong, i get great service from them, and they are one of the few vendors that will ship to an APO, but i wish they had something on their website stating whether or not they had it in stock. i won't get my arb diff covers until july now...
