Question American Racing customs - how long a wait?

I'm thinking about going with more of a classic style on my orange car, to compliment the retro color. I'm interested in ordering some gray spoked Torque Thrust II's in 18" diameter. Since these are considered custom order sizes, does anyone know how long it typically takes to get them?

Maybe Todd at ProDyno could help out

I really like these, but maybe in black:

Damn Tony didn't you just get new wheels for the Hugger SS? Anyways IMO I think the black on orange would look better, so I say go with them in black.

Hey Tony,
I had these wheels built for my camaro and they took exactly 6 weeks for delivery. I just took mine off my camaro and am going to sell them. I have 17x9.5's in the SS wheel offset, so not quite 18's, but if by any chance you are interested let me know. If you need details on who i ordered them from or anything else let me know. I am here in houston.

I'm not sure they sell them in black. I'd have to get gray and powdercoat them if I wanted black most likely.

Scott, sent you an email.

Suncoast, those Boyds look great! Do they sell them painted like that? Polished TT2 type wheels bore me, too many cars have them now.

Definitely do either the gray Boyds or the black TTII's! I think either of those 'colored-center/polished lip' wheels would look amazing on that orange beauty.

I personally like the rims that are on the orange car now, but i'm sure it would still look awesome with a set of black TTIIs. I wouldn't have minded getting a set of black TTIIs but I went with the black ZR1s instead because they were so much cheaper.

I'm sure they do and in my opinion they look a hell of alot better than the TT. Here's the thread I got it from. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ight=smoothies
