American Racing wheels
Just received a set of American Racing 427,s from the importer. Took 6 months from date of order as original distributor her closed shop? Upon opening the boxes to check the measurements etc. found the "chrome Look" powder coating peeling off one of the rear rims on the inside lip, checked the remaining rims and found bubbles and pretty average finish on the rear of all wheels. Front of wheels looks fine.
Took the spinners out of their boxes and found polished finish very average, upon turning the spinner over, found "made in China" on rear of casting.
Where the cast centres have been welded into the rims the centre powder coating is burnt and black soot left on the centre section looking from the rear.
That was the deal breaker.
My local Tyre store, "Trident Tyre Centre" has been nothing but supportive of my decision to not want the wheels.
I intend to order a set of B51,s from Dragway and stick with the Australian Made Company. Not Happy Jan!
