Have been told will have to special order and it will take 3-4 months at the least to get them. You mind telling where you got yours. Love your truck. :thup:
I ordered them through a local wheel distributor. It was quite a bit longer than the 3-4 weeks they told me it would be. After 3 months, I still hadn't heard of any progress, and started making calls at that time. 2 months after that, the wheels showed up, but were not cut correctly. So, they started over from scratch. All in all, it took me 7 1/2 months from date of order for them to show up. Im happy with the wheels themselves, just not the time it took. Not that it would have mattered with the truck in a hundred different pieces.

Yea, I just talked to another guy that had some special ordered,and his story was same as yours. 4 months to get them and then they were not correct bolt pattern. Then it was 3 more months to get 2nd set that was right.He said it was 7 months and 5 days from the order date that he had wheels he could mount. He suggested not special ordering anything from American racing. I think I will try and find something else as much as I want them. Thanks for info :thup:

I got slowed up last year (got engaged and I had a lot to do to get my house ready for my girlfriend to move in) but I'm back on it now, I'm hoping to have the paint and bodywork finished later this year.

Looking great Marz. What size are your wheels? I'm thinking about switching my pro street truck to something similar too yours. Still using thea 900 horse big block. 345 or bigger in back. Thanks
