american racing rims are not rice, there hill billy sheep ****** cousin marrying rims. There for muscle cars, trucks, suv's, and domestics. They do make a line of import rims but there ****** disgusting.

They just look a little small in my opinion. I've got American Racing wheels on my FB, and like them a lot!

I'd personally be more concerned with weight than style

Bingo, they do make knock offs of more modern wheel designs, but some of the 17" wheels weigh in at near and over 20Lbs each.

, i dont have any rice on my car or a low bass exhaust note
whats wrong with a low exhaust note? its the high buzzy ones that are bad. oh, and pretty much everyone's opinion of "rice" is different, so if you like the wheels, than go for it. just know there will be some people that like them, and some people that don't.

Does american racing make mustang cobra replicas? Those would look badass on an FC. Bullitt wheels wouldnt look terrible, but they are more recognizeable as a mustang design.

dont knock american racing.
Do any of you smart asses know where to get rims under $50 new with a +12 or -6 offset???
In my opinion most aftermarket wheels look like crap compared to a car with well spaced wheels, most have lame offsets. excpet all the $$$ ones BBS, SSR, Volk
Even Japan likes american racing.
I have an older drifttengoku with the top 5 drift wheels.
GUESS WHAT???? There are a set of american racing.
Why??? Not cuz of whight or bling. deepdish!!!!
AR-767 Top 5 Japan chosen drift wheels.
Thats not rice.
