I'm debating it. would like to see them closer before I decide. I can get these rims for under $650 and I like the way they look. redvdub did a quick photoshop for me (Thanx Matt!)

American Eagle and American Racing are "NOT" the same company at all. American racing is a much better manufacturer than American Eagle. American Eagle knocks of a lot of ARE's wheels and builds them to lesser specs and finishing details. They can be a good deal but be cautious over the long haul as they do not endure quite as well.

Get them if you want, but there are better looking. It's a good deal for 4 rims tho, if they have rubber.
