I'll check around our parking lot to see if anyone is currently running them.

As for wheel quality, we're very picky about the wheels we offer because our business wheels,tires, brake etc is so dependent on repeat business. We have some customers that we've done business with for 15-20 years. If people feel the get cheap product, they won't come back.

These wheel manufactured in Italy up to and beyond original equipment standards.

AT Italia is an Italian wheel company that used to go by ATP. Wheel is manufactured to strict Italian standards. There won't be a lot of information on the wheel out there because it's a newer wheel. The stainless steel face used on the wheel is the same method used on the AT Italia Inox os it's a proven technology.

So.....

Would you recommend the AT Italia Double face rims as a wise purchase? $195 a rim is a lot of money to be spending....so i am still skeptical about quality since i don't see many of them out there. Please give me your honest opinion about them Wheel Man.

We real picky about the wheels we carry because we have a lot of long term customers - people who have gotten wheels and/or tires from us for 10 to 15 years.

We can't afford to send out cheap wheels as people with bad experience won't come back.


The reason you don't see a lot of them out there is because we import them directly from Italy to keep costs down . . . many other wheels are produce cheaply elsewhere and then marked up as they pass through different levels of distribution.

I don't have your exact zip code by UPS shipping to Miami is $50.00. We don't collect sales tax from FL, so there are no miscellaneous charges. See below link to order:

Here is some unbiased info:

Google search on "AT Italia Rims"

AT Italia changed their name from ATP about 2 years ago.
