Default AR136 Wheels

There on sale again at Sear's. 15 x 8 ( 4 for $299 ). Run's through 9/7. Those that bought last time. Are you happy with them? Any problems? Just can not bring myself to spend the money for TT2's. Looking to save some weight over the Ralley's.

I bought the 136 rims last time they were on sell at Sears. I love the looks of them. A great looking wheel, as long as you keep them shiny. I haven't put mine on yet. Still in the boxes, but look great. I probably put them on next spring when I need new tires :yesnod: As for looks, these rims rock!

I love these wheels. Clearance is indeed close but they clear. I recommend them to anybody not in my neighborhood. :p:

I have a set of these on my '96 S-10 and I really like them. I keep eyeing my Vette and wondering if they would bolt on or not. Just have not had the time to take a couple of wheels off of each vehicle and try. That is a very good price for those wheels. I paid close to $400 at a tire dealer for fine.
