Anyone have American Racing wheels on their SS?

After reading several horror stories about members with wheel problems I think I am going to buy wheels from American Racing. I've been on their website several times but can't determine which wheels they offer that will fit my SS/RS. If anyone has any American Racing wheels could you please post pics of them with details of what model they are. Or you could email me pics and info directly to: russturbo@aol.com

Can someone please confirm what size wheels I need? I've found online that the fronts could be 20" x 8", 20" x 8.5", or 20" x 9". The rear are 20" x 10" right? I have the OEM 20" midnight silver wheels.

One more question, what is offset when it comes to wheels?

Looks like American Racing isn't the wheel of choice for Gen5 Camaro's? I've read horror stories about ICONZ, Savini, Lexani wheels. Other than American Racing, can someone recommend a wheel manufacturer?

Centerline has a nice selection of forged wheels.

HRE has really nice wheels and check out Nineball's threads. He sets his customers up with some of the nicest wheels out there.
