I really like those.

Like you, I've been waiting to find a set of FM5's that are in my price range, but these look great too. Keep us updated on the price and fit.

I'm interested as well. I wonder how deep of a dish they can put on their rims.

Have they contacted you back yet? I have sent two e-mails reguarding prices and have not received any word back.

What wheels did they quote you for? They haven't gotten back to me yet, but $3500 is expensive.

I wonder how much cheaper they'd be for 17's. From the sound of it, they're not any cheaper than Fikse.

...or CCWs.

I don't know though, I'm still not 100% decided on what rims I want. At first I was dead-set on some CCWs. Either the SP500s, 505as, Classics or the LM20s. My deal is I want a really deep dish on the rears which isn't offered on any of the CCWs other than the LM20s. After looking at these true forged the Mach 5s resemble the CCW SP500s and the Victorys resemble the 505as. At least this gives me something to think about.

Gotta realize they are custom made billet wheels just like CCW or iForged or Fikse wheels so they aren't gonna be cheap.

I totally agree BUT they also dont have the name or reputation behind them to retail that high. Billet Specialties are much cheaper and are custom made Billet wheels as well...so the cost of production has to almost be 1/4 what TrueForged wants for them. (I really have no idea..just a guess)
Seems to me there is no middle man or retailer so that shouldnt be an issue either.
However..They are very sweet looking wheels.. Especially the "Sleepers"..but appearantly built for those who have a lot of disposable income.

As far as quality, these wheels are identical to iForged. So are Boze forged wheels.

I was really interested in a set of 17" Billet Specialties wheels until I learned that the brake clearance was crap. But they also offer mostly drag wheels so their prices can be lower since they sell more volume.

Who did you talk to at TF?
