I have them. Bought them as blems off Ebay. I was quite impressed by quality and arrived pronto.

Have over 20,000 hard miles - many on racetrack with no defects.

I'm happy.

:)

AFS is kind of in the dog house with me. I've been looking to buy a set of black 5 spokes ZR-1 offset since febuary. They've had the rears, which i picked up on ebay for 330. But the fronts will not be made for another month or two. 9 solid months of not having a product in to make a sale. Otherwise, fit and finish are great, so is customer service.

I've bought a set of silver 5 spokes 2 years ago, and those were great as well.

Most of the comments I've heard have been good.

I did have the same problem with the black ones about a year and half ago. I got lucky and found a set of brand new A-molds on the forum for a very good price.

I guess it really doesn't matter. AFS dumped their manufacturer, and won't stock anything other than the chrome for months. Gave up on them for any reasonable delivery. I don't want to be the first guy on the block with the "new" vendor wheels.
