buying new lighter wheels to change looks American racing ar924 crossfire

So I had a itch and am buying some American racing 924 Crossfire wheels to replace the Rocket Racing rocket booster wheels I have in chrome. Just like the old days Chrome started to pit within a year, and sure they would take them back to exchange them in the year but shipping to Tennessee ...spendy, and now its been over five years and it did not progress much for pitting but its annoying and so I feel a itch to change. https://www.americanracing.com/produ...24-cross-fire/

The wheels best I could tell on the net I have on now were 30.8 lbs just for the front's and the rears being wider I know I am stepping up as the new wheels I ordered are just 24 lbs each so so I will unleash a little MPG and RWHP/Torque.

I imagine someone on here may have these wheels and welcome any pics they might share, I know other brands have similar.

The look up close will be more Honey comb looks so I thought I would throw this out there for others to consider, the Price is good, the rears are going to be 305 35's or what ever with the sidewall about 1/2 inch of stock which matters for the workability with the everything... and I should have about 1 1/2 " more contact area on the pavement which will look and feel nice with my torque monster, the Tires I am going with are Nitto's most likely as they are being ordered also through my local Les Schwab they are good to me...

So only 4 to 6 weeks to go, then the old wheels I will sit aside maybe bead blast and powder coat for spares or sell etc... Just thought I would put it out there so people can see this old farts choice.....

I had considered some zl1 newer style wheels also from oewheels place but they would be a nightmare to keep clean and have to have a spacer yet appear nice.....https://www.oewheelsllc.com/CV25-200...evrolet-Camaro



Frankly its the same old thing; Chrome won't get you home...LOL Old timer.....
out with the old eventually.... And the front offset of just 20mm still fits the front of these with 9" because of the design with the calipers of a SS working I had them double check..... And yes I am going with the Graphite not black....
