OEM Refinished 17x11 A-Molds FS (2) - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

VetteMed · 04-15-2009

I have a pair of Rear OEM A-Mold wheels, refinished by a professional wheel refinisher in the OEM painted finish. These are the deep-lug OEM wheels, not an aftermarket. There is a GM part number on the spokes. No center caps or lugs included.

36mm ZR-1 offset, not the GS offset!

Great price where were you when I needed you last year? Heres a bump for you. GC

I thought the AFS stamp meant they were aftermarket?

Not trying to highjack, but maybe I have GM AMolds also?

GOLDCYLON · 04-16-2009

Nope Lee those are the real deal and the AFS and JWL markings on the back and the front of the wheel seal the argument. Those are 100% OEM GM A Molds made in Japan.

AFS broke away from the Japanese MFGs and did some non JWL stampings but those too are considered A-Molds. They truely did not become aftermarket until these starting coming out of China, Design changed squaring off the spokes as well. GC

Damn then I do have OEM aMolds on my car.......wow!
Thanks

And a crap load of Dymags

LGAFF · 04-16-2009

Looks like I might have all the 17X9.5 Gen Is sold, which will open the door for buying a set w/17X11s. I cannot unload the 17X11 I have for the life of me.

Maybe I can unload my amolds too once I get the new set of Dymags!

But the ones listed here are a steal!

If you guys don't mind I'm going to side-track this thread with a rather stupid question...

Why are they called A-Molds? I have always been curious but never curious enough to ask.
