hopefully they are the right bolt pattern. Even though they are universal bolt pattern, that doesnt mean they are going to fit every single hub. I'm guessing they are 17x7.5 inch. not sure on the bolt pattern though.

They look almost like the american racing Haze rims, but not quite

[camry7373]

yea i know they are 17x 7.5 with 40 offset but i cant find any info on them? and american racing website wasnt any luck

American Racing wheels usually have AR-XXX on the back of them... where XXX is a 3 digit number. I would know... I had a set of AR222's aka "Pinzettis". It took me FOREVER to find any info on them.



You're in luck that I saved the webpage. Those look like AR649 aka "Carrera's". Enjoy.

yea they are ar-49. i called the people from that website and they were no help. is there any way to measure the bolt patterns to figure it out?

[LynchburgCSI]

Yep! If you're good, you can just eyeball it... and those you posted look like the same 114.3/100 universal lug. The ones you see above (my AR222's) are 5x114.3 (the larger spaced holes, 114.3mm between the lugs) and 5x100 (smaller spaced holes, 100mm between the holes). You can measure the distance from the center point of one lug to the next one.... that's your measurement (in millimeters).

edit: you could also call american racing.

Ken, those rims you posted up are sexy man!

[LynchburgCSI]

Thanks man! They were for sale TWICE. 4cylthriller in Maryland has them now. You know what? SHOW OFF TIME.

[Mister_Perkins]

Those look really nice on the 3rd gen. I might have to get rims now. lol

[LynchburgCSI]

Good luck. They've been discontinued since 1995, IIRC.
