Just got a notice this eve, the wheels are up for those that pre-ordered. Original finish & black. 17 x 9s & 10.5's.

[frisko4one5]

i just noticed that the price went up on the rims as well. a set of of 17x9/10.5's mac black are now $700 bucks and the chrome are now $1050
and $585 for the 18x9 mac black.. the chrome went up alot and i think the mac black went up about 150.. very interesting. im guessing this also means he has them in stock and will be selling them very soon.

Wow. Cheapest tires I could find were Nitto drag radials at $175 a piece. Seems as if Discount Tire only carries this tire size from Nitto and BFGoodrich. Most of the tires were drag radials. I'd prefer not to run drag radials.

What's the next most popular option for tire size to run on the 10.5" wheels?

Those tires are going to be expensive and there are other places that carry other brands. I wouldn't run anything smaller unless u like getting your rims curb rashed.

Great! I just called AFS but no answer.

BTW, did anyone from the "waiting list" get a call? I didn't, which is what I expected anyways.

I got an email from them yesterday letting me know they were going to be back in stock. They had my phone number but they chose to email me instead. I would call them.

[o4 Mach 1]

I got an email from AFS also...I was on the list.

Are 315's going to require a fender rolling with lowering springs (H&R Race)? Or are these the right offset (+27mm)?

Just got off the phone with AFS. Indeed they have a container (forgot to ask how may sets) of both black and grey finish Mach 1 wheels (including the 10.5") on their way; estimated ship out time from AFS at the end of May.

I ordered a pair of grey 17x10.5" and a pair of 17x9" mounted with Sumitomo HTR Z tires (315/70R15 and 275/40R17). Whoo hoo!

And yes, they are (slowly) working through the waiting list; apparently I was down 10 spots from the point where they have processed the waiting list so far.

According to: http://shop.afswheels.com/AFS-1994-2...-Set-S23MB.htm :

SIZE AND SPECIFICATIONS: 5-lug (5X4½). We have combined two different size rims on this auction. For the front are two 17" x 9", (+26mm offset 6.11 backspace) and for the rear two 17"x10.5", (+27mm offset 6.9 backspace).

Just placed an order for 2 original finish rear wheels. Hopefully they will match stock fronts pretty well. Probably going to mount dr's on the rears. Cant wait to get them!

[sonicboom]

FYI: I was on the waiting list also. I was called by AFS on Wednesday around 2pm in the afternoon letting me know I would receive an email with instructions on how to order and make payment. I received email about 15minutes later. Shipping schedule is the same, end of May.
