OK, I don't really get your point.

You don't like them? That's a matter of taste.

To much coin for you? Well I know a couple of rice boy's around here running on a couple of grand worth of rims.

You know where to get them cheaper? Ahhh, that's a different matter, please share your info.

I'm not a big fan of the doctor, but they are a 17" rim that fits on a narrow body. Some guys may be interested.
I'm not in the market this year, but I would like to know the offset/backspacing.

You can also get them at Discount Tire/Americas Tire or Tire Rack.....you'll have to find a good saleperson, but they do import and sell them for sure.


Or try this place, he's been selling this brand for years and years:
Revolution Wheels


That is a decent price from AA for what it's worth. I thought TTRS wanted 240 per wheel when I was looking into them.

What's funny about the AA ad is that they could at least install them on a car for the picture instead of doing a Photoshop trick...it's cr@p like that that makes me not trust a company (do the rims fit?, "yea, look at the picture")


35mm offset

And to me, those do not look chrome but are instead a bright silver....big difference. IMHO, chrome belongs on bumpers, not on rims (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I didn't notice the photoshop trick, that I don't like for sure. If your going to sell them as for the 914 you better make damn well sure they fit! <_<
If you have to pull or roll fenders then say so.

Just when my opinion of AA goes up a notch it gets knocked down two more!

Take a hint George! -_-

Yes, that was what I was getting at. The photoshop job is really shitty. How much trouble would it be to put the rims on for a shot if they fit so well? ALso, if I were trying to run a professional business, I would try to get the image of the car correct instead of reversing the image.
"EHCSROP" WTF??

Look at the side stripe on the LE. Notice what it says. Spell it out carefully--then look at the "mystery letters" in the title...

Yeah, I had to look a couple of times before I realized that they had played a second photoChop trick.

Those aren't Chrome!There sim-chrome spray painted. I used to spray that stuff into old tail lights to restore the reflectors. We just bought 17" X 7" 4 bolt wheels for $ 800.00 included tires and lugs.

Well, if you look at the other thread, AA has set up a forum.

Go ask them about their PhotoChop (hehhe DD) antics.
