I keep watching the For Sale forum just in case someone gets tired of looking at their wheels.

Sorry man,I sold six sets last year so I'm fresh out of backup wheels.

usa-69z,
TTII's are made in China and yes,the quality and service is worthless.
If and when you ever receive what you ordered,they are A)either damaged or have bad welds that won't hold air or B)they'll require 9 oz of weight to balance.
Either way,not good...there are plenty of great,American-made wheels by any number of vendors that sponsor right here on this site.
Avoid American Racing at all costs.

I would sell them in a heartbeat if my car was mini-tubbed. And some new polished Fikse Profil 5s 18's have been in my eye for a while now.
