Rob, I've got them on the dark rose. Look to be excellent quality. Mine previous owner put them on a while ago and they still look new.

Good luck. I've had a set on order for over 2 months. They still have no idea when they'll come in (they're made by some other company).

I ordered mine from TPIS and will let you know how they are when I get them.

Got a call today from TPIS saying that the rims are being shipped today and I should have them by wednesday or so of next week; I was also informed that my exhaust should be here around the same time.

I ordered my tires from Tire Rack yesterday and am hoping they get here when the rims do.

I have a set of AFS rims and 13 months later the finish is coming off one of the rear rims. Also having some issues with the two fronts...

Looks like everyone else is having better luck then I.

I have had my chrome AFS wheels since '97 and they are still mint. The Black GS wheels on the other hand have issues. Due mostly to road racing and burning off some of the paint. I will have those powdercoated at the end of the year...

Call them and tell them. They may make it right and they may not. I think they will. Can't hurt to ask.

I have 11" AFS on the rear of mine and 9.5 A-Molds on the front. The AFS are great quality. :yesnod:

they are switching companies, as some of the members have figured out by the long delay time in their shipment and/or backorder. This may be a good or bad thing....hopefully they switched for better quality and not just lower cost to them. We shall see....im sure we will find out. :yesnod:

Yeah, thats what AFS said. They said they hope to have the "Demo" or eval rims by next week. I guess they have to give the "ok" and then production should start.

:lol: Mike of course your chromes look great. you barely drive the car and also keep spit polished. As a daily driver, that chrome would come off after the second fourth winter season. Guess you don't have to worry about winters anymore :lol:
Hope things are good for you there.
