Preferred wheel (online) shops?
Hi everyone
I will be in California the first half of July.
I wanted to order some wheels online (American Racing). But they are on backorder (satin black TTD’s 15x8,5”).
Do you guys know of a good ‘no hassle’ online wheel shop or a wheel dealer in California (that has an online shop?
I contacted American Racing and they said the wheels appear to be inbound with an ETA of (roughly) 07/07/2026.
Or maybe ordering from American Racing themselves is the fastest?

Assuming you mean part number 1055861B Summit Racing shows it can't be ordered and future availability is unknown. Other sites also show it unavailable. Is this the number you are looking for?

You should consider VN2157861, 17x8 Mag Gray spokes. Better tires available such as Nitto 255/50x17.

1055861 fits over the calipers no problems and no spacer as they are a torq thrust D... I've had them on multiple C3s and fit without issue. 15x8.5 with 3.77 backspace.
You are looking at the "B" with the black spoke that show unavailable but same part number... the argent are avaiable anywhere and can be painted if you cant find the black

I think I will go for the grey ones that are more widely available.
