Driving conditions in Whitby
Squall lines off the lake can drop visibility and traction within a single commute. Road salt and winter potholes are the two things that kill wheel finishes here — which is why a separate winter set on tougher rims usually pays for itself.

- Match bolt pattern, centre bore and offset to your vehicle — diameter alone is not a fitment.
- Ask about TPMS sensors and hub-centric rings when you order; both are easy to forget and both cause problems later.

How much do American Racing wheels cost?

Can I run American Racing wheels through a Whitby winter?
Authentic vintage designs, but salt is brutal on any wheel. Rinse regularly, or run a dedicated winter rim-and-tire package and store these for the warm months.
Do I need an alignment after new wheels?
If the offset changes, yes. Different offset changes scrub radius and steering feel, and an alignment protects the new tires.
