I don't know how long these wheels have been out, but I think they're fairly
new. Guys on E-Bay are selling them for around $475/set of 4.

They are about a year old or so... they weren't available when I was
collecting originals, anyhow.

I would certainly buy a set EXCEPT they appear to be available only in
zero offset, and my current wheels (MoPar cop car wheels) actually
allow me to run wider rubber. I am guessing I would have a max. width
of about 205 with those; I'm running 245s in the back right now. Yeah,
it's probably overkill with a stock 289, but a) they came with the
wheels and b) they look darn good, IMHO.

I wonder how much "meat" is on those, if it would be possible/safe to
have a half inch or so shaved off the back of the mounting surface to
pull them in a little bit. I am guessing that if I asked American
Racing their answer would be something like "hell no" however, and I
don't feel like being the guinea pig.
