Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives How good are American Racing Wheels?

I found a set of four new American Racing Polished Baja's 17x8" wheels. They come with the center caps for $400 plus $85 shipping.

I'm not really familiar with aftermarket wheels. I like the looks of these wheels. Are they a good quality made wheel? Will they hold up to snow and salt in the winter, at least as good as factory wheels?

I'm looking for good 17" wheels to use with 265/70-17 Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor tires.

Thanks!

Up until about 7-8 years ago, there wasn't much else out there. The quality at the time was pretty good, at least on the ones I had on my Ranger.

Now, I don't know. The wheels on the new trucks and cars are pretty nice looking and I didn't see a need to get different ones so I haven't looked.

tzone, thanks for the reply.

Those will be a good looking set up. My ranger has a set of 16x8 Ventura's on it. I like 'em alot. Theyre round an shiney lol.

The only thing I really dont like about the rims is that the canter cap is plastic.

We dont use the salt around here, an I only got into the snow briefly with them. But I do have alot of miles on all the gravel an cinder rock roads around here an they have a few tiny dings an couple of scratches but other than that they look great.

These are the Ventura's

great wheel i run them on several customer vehicles
