Default AFS Wheels ???

I am considering a set of AFS' Black ZR1 replica's..

If I get them I will probably buy them off of ebay [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2425677940]

Do any of you have AFS wheels or have you seen them? How is the quality? Are the light weight? How durable is the powder coating?

Any comments would be very much appreciated.

I actually had just received my tires from AFS yesterday and threw them on. I would definitely say they complement my White TA and would highly recommend them. It's almost as is if the good is heading to the bad side. I have not had any problems with rubbing, but not everyone does. Unfortunately I do not have any Pics yet to supply but they do look great.

I took the car out for a spin too last night and boy you can feel them grab the road. I actually got them in the AFS package with the Dunlop SP8000 and they aren't bad either.

They also come now with a wider polished edge too then previous which I also think looks better. To get that though I believe you may have to get them directly from AFS.

Hope this helps and have fun on whatever you decide.

I've ran AFS wheels for years. I've had thier ZR1's on my Formula for over 2 years and on my stangs long before that. They are quality wheels and provide outstanding customer service.

Awesome. Thanks a lot to both of you. Monkey get pics ASAP -- I would LOVE to see what they look like on a white t/a before I buy .. since thats what I have.

I think the ebay auctions are actually FROM AFS .. ?? The e-mail address goes to someone on the AFS website?

Anyway --- thanks much for input.

How hard is it to keep the black wheels clean? I know black cars show EVERYTHING .. are the wheels the same way?

Thanks again for all your help guys.
