Guess they saw an opportunity to take advantage of. Ill order the 17x10.5's through Cruizin or someone else and wait 30 days for $140/each rather than practically $300/each

If that's what they're going for, screw that and AFS!


Doesn't anyone run a business in this day and age that has any integrity left? AFS would still be making money hand over fist @ $190 a piece. I mean come on, lets be real here...these are Chinese made wheels.

uhhh...they were $985 shipped. That is 985/4=$246.25 shipped per wheel. That was the original deal.

Deal or not I dont need 4 rims and I can buy 2 for almost half price somewhere else. Im gonna wait a few weeks until they realize they bought too many wheels and will lower the price down. Theyve already lost a lot of us

will those fit on the back with the IRS?

Yes going to keep the 17s in the front and 18s on the back.... I'm guessing it will look good considering that vettes & vipers come with 19" and 18" / 20" and 19".

Yes it should fit by getting my fenders rolled and shaving my IRS bolts. The big thing is finding a shop that will do it properly. If they crack the paint, it's mystichomre and will cost them a hell alot of $ to repair.

You should do some research before running two vastly different wheel/tire diameters. Your ABS sensors sure won't like it. If I were rolling my fenders, I'd do it myself using an Eastwood Fender Roller, a heat gun, and patience. I'm not sure many shops are going to give you the money you deserve if they damage your paint. I'd be extremely hesitant dropping my car off anywhere to get this done, especially with Mystichrome.

Well considering its a 30 series instead of a 40 series, it should not be that much difference in size right?

Yes I think i'll end up rolling the fenders myself..... But I dont want to buy the eastwood tool.... I wonder if I can rent one living in Canada...?

Machine Finish 17x10.5 $212/wheel.

I might bite the bullet and replace the 17x9's in the rear. I'm partial to the stock wheels:shrug:

are you guys calling or placing your orders through ebay or the website, and is there any difference in price depending on how you order.

I'm thinking about just doing it through ebay.
