Anyone using American Racing Mojave Rims

[S&S1stCruzer]

Just curious if anyone is using these? If so did you have to use a space and what size?

Thanks

i had them on a different make so can't give you any input on the backspacing. what i can say is allthough they looked pretty slick, the teflon came off very easily on mine. wasn't impressed for the relatively high price they charge for them.

it was like the teflon was painted on rather then powdercoated.

That's interesting...I have them on my tacoma. So far so good.

i've been looking at these too. there is a seller on ebay that'll bring the price down to ~150 each so they're getting into the non-rediculous price range.

as far as fittment goes, i've heard the 3.75 backspace on the 15" rims will fit as long as you don't put weights on the inside lip. i'm waiting for pictures. 16" rims don't fit, backspace i presume, confirmed by the guy getting pics of the 15s

kinda disturbing to hear about the coating, might as well just get the significantly cheaper polished ones and let them get dirty

S&S: do you have a 60 series cruiser you could test fit one of your rims on? what size are they?

You're RIGHT! where the hell is my head at! I try it this weekend for fun (i have the 16 x 8) and see what kind of issues I run into. I guess since I'm working my 60's engine, I forget the rest of it still works so to speak.

HAHA

i'm betting they won't work, backspacing is 4.5" according to the link above. worth a shot though
