Default Need Some Opinions On Wheels.

I'm about ready to place an order for some wheels. I've decided to go with True Forged wheels, the people at the company are real nice and I am getting a real good discount since the owner wants some more Chevy's and Pontiac's on the site rather than Stangs. I was supposed to order some ADV.1's for my TA but I decided not to because I will save close to 4k and I can use the money for some other goods. I'm going to be running 17x8.5's in the front and 17x11 in the rear on my narrowed 9'.

I narrowed it down to two wheels The 1st one is the True Forged Sleeper but I am getting them without the machined bolts.

The second one is the True Forged Speed Five.

I'm leaning towards the Sleeper wheels. But if you think different let me know. Thanks in advance.

I too like the Sleeper wheels, without the rivets/bolts.

Im not a fan of rivets at all but between those two I would choose the sleeper. I like how they get smaller for the star rim appearence reather than the other one.

The color of my TA is black. I don't know if its safe to disclose the price yet. But I can def. tell you that with tires, wheels, shipping, etc... they will run me just under 2k. And that is an amazing price for a set of custom forged wheels!

I just think that there are companies out there that can make a great product for a great price. So that's why I never under estimate the "little guy" not by a along shot.
