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

No idea of the back story on the name. Good question

Found this link to an article about "A-Mold Corporation" a couple of weeks when looking for info related to the powder coating process.
Coincidence?

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

$750 for the pair + shipping. Pics to follow.
Beautiful wheels !

Thanks, folks... I listed em $50 cheaper here than on the 'other' forum, want to help my bros out

I would like to add that I popped an aftermarket center cap into one of the front wheels I have from the same refinisher, and the color is correct but the metallic sheen is a little different -- I can't say if this is a difference in the center cap or the wheel, just wanted to give a heads up. Again, the center caps are aftermarket.

This is a front wheel (and that wrinkly look in the lug well is an illusion, in case anyone wonders about the quality )

Yep, you need those NOS wheel center caps of mine to finish them right. $170 shipped free. Retail is $280. A deal for sure.
