I'm not sure, but I've been told that the lead time for their wheels is horrendous. Like 12 months....

I waited around 9 months ... numerous phone calls ... the wheels are tops though.

I bought american racing AR500(same as long beach customs)from rons rims in the states took six weeks. To easy, only stuff up on my behalf was, I should of got them sent two at a time. That way I would avoid the $220.00 import tax.

cheers

Whole package cost $1930.00 Aus plus import tax. Still cheaper that the company that sells them here. I think it was $6-700.00 for freight

Did anyone see the "Wrecks to Riches" show on pay TV where they built a 1969 Hemi Dart for auction, calling it the Poison Dart??

The wheels on that kind of remind me of the longbeach customers, and would look awesome on a LH/LX.

Not 100% sure, but I think they were Intro's. They custom painted a section of the wheel centre in a charcoal colour, this contrasted beautifully with the polished finish and the rivets.

Could not find a very clear photo, but here it is:

Check out the wheel vintiques billet pontiac Rallye II rims. They are correctly painted to gts style. The longbeach have the sopkes painted all the way to
the centre...so they look a bit more like sprint type wheels

I left message after message for 2 months with no response to date!! So come up with these. Not the same but at least you can get them and you can go from 15's to 20's and choose your offset.
