Not certain that this is really a tech item...
Just thought I should warn everyone: I've had the AmericanMuscle.com [formerly MustangTuning.com] antharcite bullets 18x10 on my car just under a year [rear] and the clear coat is already coming off the deep dish area. Their warranty on the finish is 90 days, which is in writing and I've called as well.
And I live in SoCal, so neither the weather nor road conditions have anything to do with it... No abrasive cleaners ever.
Both fronts and rears were very tough to mount the tires on.
Also, the front wheels, which are newer than the rears, and are 18x9, have leaked at the bead twice. I'd replaced the fronts wheels with brand new, and the tire shop had a heck of a time getting my Pirelli P Zero Neros to seat on them both times, and I've had to go back with the bead leaking again [not from hitting any curbs either].
I guess you really do get what you pay for: $164 ea. They're made in China, and look good out of the box [except for one I received damaged in shipping]. Too bad they don't last.
