    I`m about sick and tired of fighting the rust on my cragars and I`m ready for a new set of wheels . I realy like the way the salt flat specials by american racing look but I don`t know if they will look good on a maverick or not . Has anyone seen them on a mav or have any pictures ?

    Thanks.

    These are pretty close to the Salt Flats

    Not a big fan of the salt flats style, but any polished aluminum wheel will cure the rust problem....

    Thats the one type of wheel i'm really not a fan of. Whats the diameter going to be? What type of car are you building?

    Thanks
