RE: [Chevelle-List] American Racing 200s
Yes they have what I want in the "SS" wheel. It just doesn't have the look that I want. I think I'll pursue the American Racing Torque Thrust II that Dale recommended. We'll see if they charge an unreasonable premium for making them with custom offsets. Lance -Original Message-From: Kelly C.

RE: [Chevelle-List] American Racing 200s
If you are looking for a cheep steel wheel solution that doesn’t look too bad try www.diamondracingwheels.com . For under $60/wheel you can have just about any bolt pattern or offset under the sun. You’ll want to look at the Stock Car wheels as these are strong enough for street use. Most of the others are not. This will be going on my ’71 chevelle.

Found the page. Thanks I'll check out what they want to make the wheels I need.

Re: [Chevelle-List] American Racing 200s
Michael, American Racing has just released the a few rims that are listed in their AR-Custom Shop as 2 piece rims. You can actually specify your off set requirements to your application. They will make the rims based on your request in the custom shop. I am not sure how many styles they do this custom services with. I do know the Torq-Thrust II rims are offered in the 2 piece design.
