American Racing AR172 Baja Black Wheel Features

The American Racing AR172 Baja Black wheel showcases a classic eight-hole modular design that's become a staple in the truck and SUV community, featuring a durable satin black finish that resists fading and maintains its appearance through daily driving and weekend adventures. American Racing offers this wheel in cast aluminum construction, providing a solid balance of strength and weight that's ideal for both on-road comfort and off-road capability. The AR172 Baja's straightforward design isn't just about looks; its open spoke pattern allows for excellent brake cooling and makes cleaning after muddy trails a breeze. Available in various sizing options with 5-lug, 6-lug, and 8-lug bolt patterns, this wheel accommodates a wide range of trucks and SUVs from brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, and GMC. The satin black finish provides a stealthy, aggressive appearance that complements any build, whether you're running all-terrain tires for weekend trail runs or keeping it street-focused for your daily commute. American Racing includes center caps with each wheel, completing the clean, purposeful aesthetic that's made the Baja a trusted choice for enthusiasts who value proven performance and timeless styling.
  • Center cap shown included at no charge.
