Does anyone make new ones? Other than the Ansen ones, from American Racing i think? They dont quite have that genuine look.
I'm running aorund on some nice polished 14x7, but trying to get a pair of 14x8 for the back is proving tough. Searching Ebay turns up a few, but usually in a full set, with tyres, and overpriced. |

when you say overpriced how does it compare to new ones, a mate split one of his centreline autodrags 14x7 , to replace one rim was $537.00 he purchased a complete set from a swapmeet for $500.with tyres.
sometimes its worth buying a set if it outways the cost of a couple of new ones.

Let me know what type you are running. I might have some spare 14x8 in Chevoit and also Magnums. I think I have a pair of 15x9.5" US racers as well somewhere. I was planning to use a pair of 14x8 on a 1-tonner alloy tray trailer Im going to build this year as I have some old stock 245/60/14 Eagers to run on them as well. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords?

By "overpriced" i mean most times youre eeking towards the cost of new wheels, and most sell with tyres, whereas my tyres are 95% new. Sure there are bargains out there, youre right, but you know how hard they are to find. Ill keep looking. Cheers. Byron, i shot you an email. Thankyou.
