Default Are these wheels any good?

Well, I've been doing extreme research into wheels and tires the last few days. I've came across a brand called American Racing. I got curious and researched if this was the brand American Muscle sells as I've been wondering if they are any good. They came up as a dealer. So, now I'm wondering if this is a good brand before I buy a set. Will I have problems with pitting or anything like that? Thanks in advance.

American Racing was the maker of the original Torque Thrust "Bullitt" wheels.

Yeah, they are quite good! As pointed out, they first ran the Torque Thrust (Bullit style) wheels. Plus, doesn't that guy from the Hot Rod TV show manage them... Boyd something-or-other? Nonetheless, they are good ones to consider.
