20's on my 1957 F100.

I'm curious as to what vehicle with 5x4.75" pattern that American racing would recommend those wheels for? Nothing out there is notably lighter than a G-Body that uses that pattern.

Yeah I'm starting to learn how to play the car parts game with companies! I'm glad I figured that out because these where totally worth it. I keep grinning ear to ear and people are turning heads at intersections

I've been trying to teach my wife that - offer nothing more than what is required. Of course the only thing she applies that to is me.

Looking good, OP!
