{"product_id":"american-racing-ar943-5x108","title":"American Racing AR943","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen you pick up the AR943, the face has a straightforward spoke layout that sits flush and purposeful — nothing overwrought, nothing trying too hard. The spokes are moderately thick, which keeps the wheel structurally honest without looking heavy on the vehicle. In \u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e, the face absorbs light rather than throwing it around, so the wheel reads as a deliberate design choice rather than an afterthought. That quality works especially well against silver, white, or graphite body colors, where the contrast is sharp and intentional. Red and blue vehicles also pair well, since the black lets the paint carry the personality. This is a wheel that suits compact crossovers, sedans, and sport wagons running the 5x108 pattern — Ford Focus ST, Volvo S60, Land Rover Freelander-era platforms, and similar applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter x Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\" x 8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBolt Pattern\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5x108\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOffset\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eET+35mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBackspacing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.88\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHub Bore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63.36mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLoad Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1900 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBLACK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAR943BX17803035\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wheel runs the 5x108 bolt pattern, which covers a range of half-ton trucks and SUVs depending on hub bore and offset. ET+35mm offset is typical for stock-height fitments; leveled and lifted trucks may want different offset\/backspacing combinations to clear larger tires. A hub-centric ring is recommended when the wheel hub bore is larger than the vehicle hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the BLACK Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican Racing has been producing wheels since 1956, and the AR series represents their entry into straightforward, value-driven fitments without abandoning dimensional accuracy. They're not a boutique forged brand, and they don't claim to be — what they deliver is consistent casting quality and finish durability at a price point that makes a full set of four realistic for most budgets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout American Racing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican Racing produces wheels distributed nationally through trusted vendor channels.

Before ordering, verify your vehicle's bolt pattern, hub bore, and load rating requirements against your owner's manual or a fitment guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo lug nuts come included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLug nuts are not included with the AR943. You'll need hardware that matches your vehicle's seat type — most 5x108 applications use a conical or ball-seat lug nut depending on the make. We can help you identify the correct spec when you call or stop in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I finance a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, financing is available through \u003cstrong\u003eAcima\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAffirm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eSynchrony Car Care\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you flexible options whether you prefer lease-to-own or installment-based plans.
