Re: AFS wheels (loflite)
Somebody had a post awhile ago about some AFS blems they got dirt cheap. They posted pics of the blemishes and I swear I've seen 'perfect' wheels with bigger defects.

a lot of people got their wheels there including me. They were very easy to deal with. :cheers:

Re: AFS wheels (Mr Mojo)
I agree thier wheels are great, However I ordered a set of ZR1's for my Camaro and they said they were on a slight backorder. Well 3months later they decided to tell me they were in the middle of switching casting companys and they had "No Idea" when more wheels would be made. So I canceled the order and went with Performance Wheel Outlet< Very very good wheels.

PS. This same seller had the painted rims for $589 or something. What a steal!

Nope no such luck, the jerks are switching production over to asia so no more made in america. They couldn't compete with the other companies selling their rims for 799

I bought 2 rear wheels for drag radials. They are nice wheels, and it's hard to tell them from the GM wheels from a few feet away. I would buy from them again.

I got a set from PWO that looked like they had been dragged on the floor on their face. I sent those back and ordered from AFS. They came in nice and perfect the first time. A lot of vendors sell the A-mold style though. Check the Forum supporters too.

Re: AFS wheels (blk_c4)
Hey BLK_C4.....
Did you get the wheels with the built in offset ? So you don't need spacers or anything?
What size and what offset are they?
My 84 has Z51 also so the front and rear are not the same size.
Thanks for the info, your Vette looks Great!

Re: AFS wheels (loflite)
My son bought a set of ZR1 replicas for his '92. They were excellent to deal with and very fast shippers. After a couple months, lost a center cap. Called and bought a replacmentw/logo and got it USPS Priority 3 days later!
The wheels were perfect - bought them with Kuhmo's mounted - and would by another set from them in a heartbeat!! :yesnod:
