Lmfao, thanks guys. I had planned on getting them on within the next few weeks as we had some decent weather here. Low and behold yesterday and today we get 5" of snow and ice after several 50 degree days which melted all the previous snow. This is the second time in 3 weeks this has happened. I just took it out from under the cover too.

That's a clean design, definitely interested to see how those look on the car!

Not sure off hand bud. I would have to talk to Steve at True Forged.
With a straight edge and a tape measure you can give us backspacing, which can be pretty easily converted to offset. Just lay the wheel down on its face, put the straight edge across the back of the wheel, then measure down from the straight edge to the mounting face of the wheel. I'm guessing it'll be somewhere in the 7" ballpark.

Rivets? Where are there rivets in that picture?

Wheels look sharp bud!

Do they make the 3 piece with a black powdercoated outer shell/lip?

It amazes me that they let dipshits like you on the internet.

Not a god damn good thing to say about anyone else's products...just badmouth them because they are too poor to buy their own.

It's okay to put down others to make yourself feel better.

Steve can do anything you want. With a 3 piece wheel you can do any variation or combo of chrome, painted, brushed or polished. He can factory match paint to do just the lips a certain color or the whole wheel or even just the assembly bolts.

He is big in the Mustang community especially the GT500/Terminator Cobra cars. He has done probably hundreds of sets for them on SVTperformance. Check their website out under customer cars. My old 03 Cobra is on their site as well. He is a great guy as well.

In regards to the overpricing comment, I paid $3100 for a set of forged 3 piece 20's. CCW charges 2800 or so for a plain jane polished wheel with no options at all in 19" sizes. The wheels are made in the same factory as Iforged and cost almost 1K less. They are made to the exact same standards as HRE as well and cost about 2K or more less a set. Get a ******* clue man.

FYI they are not rivets, they are assembly bolts. IE they hold the wheel together.

Another cool thing. Check where the valve stem is. It is actually placed where the assembly bolts are so it blends in. Another thing I liked about this new design.

I think they look sweet! That's just my opinion....I hope I don't get harassed for having one.
