I've got hundreds and hundreds of them directly from Rev for a few years now...since before they were "licensed" by American Racing..

They come out of china....most of the ones I've shipped to Oz were just wholesale for a tire/wheel shop there, but have used a few myself on cars and got a set for a local buddy too...as china stuff goes they seem better then other stuff I've seen. Balance up easy and seem to hold up well also.

And Rev does do a few different style wheels..and they must be doing well..they recently moved into alot bigger warehouse...

Most of the other wheels and components I deal in are all made here locally...pity the old American Eagle wheels (copy of the torque thrust like the Rev is a copy of) always seem so hard to get in stock..

Rev's are cheap as well of course..

thanks for the reply. i seen a set at the good guys in indy today for $500. i liked them but the price seemed cheap and that turned a light on in my head. do you think they'd hold up on a 4000LB b-body?

I used a set on a '70 Camaro that I sent to Oz, and no problems with it...and the set I got for my local buddy are on his wife's daily driver '66 Mustang with no problems..

Both lighter than a B body, but no issues with them at least.

Other option with be the American Eagle 2 piece version..they are US made at least...and a little cheaper than the actual American Racing ones.

Here is a pic of the Camaro...this was back with thier old style REV center cap as well.


Oh, and from memory wholesale price on the 17" ones are around $80 each or so from memory
