    Very cool. I have a couple sets of aluminum wheels I may see what I can do with now. :)

    I had a set of old Keystone 5 slot aluminum wheels on my Maverick from the early 80's till the time I parked it. When I restored the car I stored them at my work place.(no room in the garage) I kept checking on them from time to time to make sure they were still there. About a month ago they came up missing and no one knows what happened to them.

    yeah, American Racing bought Ansen and they are now selling them brand new. I got mine 5 days ago. They're already on the mav! 4.5" backspace with 255/60/R15 tires at the rear end. I've got like .5" of clearance (without spacers), no rubbing issues, only when going fast over a speedbump.
