20" American Racing Salt Flat Wheels

American Racing has finally started producing 20" Salt Flat style wheels in a 5 on 5" bolt pattern. It will be available in polished or grey centers and various backspacing since it is a true two piece wheel and will be in 8" and 9 1/2" widths. I think its a cool alternative to five spokes and should sell in the $450 range in 20" size....yes i know its not cheap

Re: 20" American Racing Salt Flat Wheels

I wonder what the hub dimensions and backspacing might be. That's a lot of money to spend only to find out you have to grind your hubs and pound the crap out of your dust caps to get them on.

Re: 20" American Racing Salt Flat Wheels

Same bore size as a 5 on 5" Torque Thrust II that everyone runs with NO issues like a Coy or the old Boss 338's!

Re: 20" American Racing Salt Flat Wheels

I Love these wheels so I contacted "www.wheelsforless.com last month and asked them about the wheels since they don't have them posted on their site:


"The painted Salt Flat in 20x8.5 sells for $405.00 each and the 20x9.5 sells
for $466.95 each. The 20" Salt Flat centers are new part numbers so I would
allow a little extra time for them to be made. To be safe we would say to
allow 10-14 weeks."

Thanks,

Love the wheel, but don't like the stepped lip.

Re: 20" American Racing Salt Flat Wheels

Man, I love me some 20" Salt Flats! But for the price, I love my 20" Boss cast gray 338s even more!
