American Racing has a plethora of wheels to fit your SC! Here's my wife's ride with ARs.

Look awesome,

How old are the Rims, no problem with pitting? The TRD Chrome I have is terrible! These look sweet! I am not sure but is Chrome still in?

The rims are almost new. However.. American Racing has been around for decades. My first ARs as a teen! I have had no less than probably a dozen rims with chrome with no problems. AR does offer a warranty thru their dealers however. Chroming defects are usually prep and quality issues. With the popularity of the AR products in the hotrod, classic and muscle car communities... their products are excellent!

Here are my other rides with ARs... all ordered in the late 1990s. Still perfect after all these years!





ps.. you'll need new lugs with the ones I have for the SC.

hoffy,

If you do decide to replace your rims I would be interested in your TRD's if they are in good shape.
I have a couple of mine that need replaced.

Just next door to you in Tennessee.

Default 20"schwert works exclusive staggered rims on michelin pilots


Prefer these 20s to the previous 18s although they rub a little on full lock
