Are they free shipping? I know some have cheaper prices but high shipping prices. AM's wheels cost a little more but free shipping is nice. I know OEwheels has great prices but shipping is like $80.

I havent heard anything negative about latemodelrestorations.com's product quality. I would say buying wheels from them would be a safe investment, the website comes recommended and the customer service is good so if you have a problem they'l probably get you sorted out.

I got my black '03 cobra rims from www.wheelreplicas.com and they've survived track abuse, autox and drag racing. Great rims.

I got my 17" FR500s from AM and I have no complaints. Thing I like about AM is the free mounting/balancing of the tires, and of course, their tire prices, go to a tire shop and expect to pay anywhere from 20-100% more for the same damn tire, not to mention a $40-80 balancing charge.
