My very clean one owner pathfinder I pick up for 2000. Completely original with the tape player still in it. Looking forward to return to Arizona

I looked on old American Racing web sites using the wayback time machine, it went back to 1997 and that wheel was not shown. I know it is older as I mounted probably hundreds of them back in the day but I have no idea what the model actually was.

 

I do know AR does not make it any longer, so if you want to match it you may need to watch E-bay. Enkei and other companies made similar looking wheels but they may not match 100% to what you currently have.

Thanks man I figure they must be a dealer bought option or from somewhere. I'll have to track down one matching. I think they look amazing and cool

I also looked and looked..hard...and apparently, although those rims look great on your truck..I'm sorry, they don't exist...I don't think they ever existed. There's no historical trace or ID tag that can be attributed to them...must have been a black ops alloy. However, I did find the one similar to yours is called AR 39. That's as close as the Gov't. would allow me to get.

I saw the AR 39 when I was searching also, I remember when that wheel first came out, about the same time the "wing" one's came out that I had on my old hardbody:

 

I had the wheels on my truck in black, than I wanted to get a matching spare one week end when we were all planning a big camping trip on the beach and the local American Racing distributor only had the wheel in red, so I had a red spare wheel.

Yea those are cool, they are also hard to find around here anyway. For the cool rims that look good on our trucks you gotta get down to where ever Little Mexico is for you, the hispanics have the coolest rims. I can't stand all the new 20" - 22" and up ugly chrome wheels all you see now when searching for rims. I like the old discontinued directional sawblade type rims, and Outlaw II, those are nice and look great on our trucks.

How much for the 5 blade rim you got close enough

Not too much, the clear coat is peeling so they need reconditioning. Not hard, but takes time and effort. Shipping could kill the deal though. PM me about it...
