I know they are popular wheels amongst the Cobra crowd. Check over on SVTPerformance. I believe they are a sponsor over there.

I have a set and they are VERY nice wheels. I have considered selling them (still brand new unmounted) in favor of some CCW's to fit my third gen instead..(my True Forged wheels are for a 4th gen)

Got them on my GT500, they are the shiznit. On antoher note, funny how a particular brand custom wheel is popular on one brand and not another of car. You won't find many guys running Fikse wheels on the mustang crowd, but you will find alot of the TF's. Just weird that way.

But they are fine wheels, on par with Fikse, CCW, iForged, Forgline, etc.

We'll I talked to one of the guy's at True Forged, he said they want more F-body customers and cut us a break for getting there wheels! The Sleeper FE's I think would look killer on a Camaro!

Price is a touch cheaper than both CCW and Fikse if there aren't promotions for those brands going on. I would let mine go for under what a new set of either would cost even if they were on sale right now..

I actually had the opportunity to pick up a set of TF wheels for a killer price, and I regret not jumping on it! They are very nice wheels, and I wouldnt hesitate to run a set! Maybe some day, ill be able to afford some Chicanes.

Steve @ TF is a great guy to deal with!

we dont put pricing on our website for 2 reasons. competitive reasons and also because there are SO many different options that its easy to get lost in the pricing structure if you're not familiar with it. we'd rather "talk"/email customers about pricing than just post it up. we may look to change that in the future though.

hey, yes and thanks for hitting me up on FB. we are looking to get more into the Fbody scene. i actually looked at getting a low miles Z28 to help do so but i couldnt find any clean enough for the right price range. id still love to have a T Top pewter colored Z28 with black leather though

the pricing posted above is our standard, discounted forum member pricing, but if some Fbody guys are willing to step up, ill chop that down quite a bit! since i know mustangs really well, and not camaros yet, just give me the offsets you want and we'll make them happen! im actually very interested in coming on board as an authorized vendor right now. who do i need to talk to?

we ARE popular with the mustang crowd but we are also popular with the trailblazer ss crowd and even ctsv. so dont we think only do Fords lol. i just got a call yesterday from Chevy High Performance magazine. they want to shoot my good friends 64 chevelle SS for a full feature article
http://www.trueforgedwheels.com/cars...g2_itemId=2641

we've already got the bowtie and SS logos on file for custom center cap options. go to our facebook page and check out our custom center caps album

check out the 17x9.5 17x11 Chicanes (our most popular design) we just did for a 98 cobra

and thank you to those here who know TF and gave positive shout outs

we havent done a lot of 4th gens but we have done some. only a few pics though as many people never send their pics in after. here's a car that was in GM High Performance Magazine that we did a couple of years ago
