17 x 10 1/2" AFS Wheels

[GAZ]

Does anybody know where I can find the AFS 17 x 10 1/2 wheels that match the stock mach look?

Good luck man I got lucky and found a set. There is like a year wait or something for them from AFS. Last set I saw went on Ebay for like $850 for just the rear two rims. They are very hard to come by.

I know I keep calling AFS to see when they may be arriving, and they are absolutely zero help. They have No idea, None, when they may come in.

You could get them widened...

Really? who does that? and are they strong enough? I live in a remote part of Colorado. Don't know of anyone around here who does that.

Yeah but if you get them widened they won't have that huge deep dish lip. You could also get your stockers widened to be 10.5 or 11 inches wide. Yes they are just as strong as stock when widened.

Id also call some rim shops and ask if they know anyone who does.

After some searching it seems AFS mailed a few sets of these rims out and then disappeared off the face of the planet. Probably your best bet at this point

Looks like they add in the middle of the wheel. A deep dish mach rim would look sweet too

Yea torchedmach1, I for sure want the deep dish look so widening probably is'nt an option. El Jeffe great pics that is the look I'm after, I saw a pair on a mach up at RMMR this Summer. How when did you here that AFS shipped some? I just got a E-mail back from them and they still have no ETA.

[TorchedMach1]

Yeah I love the deep dish, and I couldn't be happier with mine. I also powder coated the centers black. Did you get on there waiting list. I got on there a few months ago just because. You don't have to pay until the rims are ready to ship either.

Here's a couple pics of mine:

Oh Yea, those look great, what size tires are you running? I guess I'm on there list, they say they will let me know when they come in. I keep checking with them though.....They don't seem very helpful. I mean they have absolutely no idea when they may come in!! like a day,week,year,century...., none,.... seems weird to me. And it sounds like there are several people who want them. So you would think that they would be a little motivated to get them in.

Yeah, i've been on the AFS site, talked to them, and they're absolutely no help. They said that they have no clue if they will ever get anymore in. I think that they'd have to have alot more interest in them then maybe they'd do something about it. I want the DD look so bad, I think I'm gonna go with the black chrome 17 x 10.5 FR500's. Put some 17 x 9's in the front and they'd look great on the mach.

[IMSHAKN]

Give it some time and maybe wheel replicas will begin making them. AFS wheels BLOW IMHO as the clear they use is total crap. If they were well made I'd buy some and put them on my car as I prefer them over the FR500s I'm currently rocking. I think Jay has the killer wheel setup though. His DD custom powdercoated wheels look great.

[machgirl]

Yeah, Ive heard that the afs ones have clearcoat that peels off.
