OK, I'm placing a $1,000 REWARD on this rim

NOT this rim

but THIS RIM RIGHT HERE

See the difference? I need the one with the Slant lip or Deep Dish Lip. What kind of lip is this called btw?

The rim for as a heard is an American Racing wheel model called GT MAG according to an old brochure that was read to me.

I really would like to have this rim please and can't find it anywhere but on the car Fun_In_My_Z sold

Anyone with any leads please call me Day or Night at 530-701-1244

Thyanx ~Z~

If i just had One deep dish wheel i can copy it. I'd even pay to just borrow a wheel to do it. And why don't AR have a actual phone number to call? Their site just says call a local vendor! Geesh, how argrovatin when u got a question about "Thier" product. smh. Sigh ok, enough complaining for me

First, remember that the particular style you are looking for was made by several companies back in the '70s. I do not know how many of them made the deeper dish wide version. But none of those companies have made them in over 30 years. There probably aren't many people working at these places that are old enough to remember that they used to make them. In fact, the company has probably changed ownership several times since those wheels were last built. Trying to get info on a 30+ year old wheel from a current manufacturer is a total waste of time.

Ok well i found one like it

Frankly, not even close. That is a painted stamped steel wheel.

Im having trouble finding vintage wheels and those have a small bend right before they touch the lip

Yeah those are better known as Trailer wheels . I thought the same thing too when i first saw them years ago

And why don't AR have a actual phone number to call?

Try posting your request on the 914world.com and 914club.com forums. I see several posts there selling these kind of wheels over the last few years, though I don't think any of the pictures were of the "deep dish" variety.

I've got a set of 4 of the non-deep dish style if you decide to give up finding the deep dish. Good luck with your search.

No luck so far and Thyanx Bob. I'll remember that when i come back to Cali

American Racing smh. They don't have the molds, they don't have any of the old catalogs.

Arne's right, they don't care smh

They, a couple of workers, couldn't even recommend me to someone who may have they're rims that old.

Not even a car guy tip to someone who collects or stashes old rims.

Back to the old Barn find approach.

You might want to keep an eye on the Wheels-for-sale area on the AE86 forums. Lots of odd old-school stuff there. Might get lucky. (I expect a finder's fee if this works. )

But still I must be patient .

Now setting a $250 finders fee for that rim!!
