Hi Patrick, Bill Birney recently sent an email informing me he had
matching wheels in 13" for his GT6 and were labeled American Racing
on the inside. Several others have also mentioned the same thing. I
have heard of Appliance Racing wheels in the past but have never
seen any.
Nothing like a little mystery is there!
Thanks!
