Just to get the info out there- True Forged is doing Specials for LS1 cars right now- I think they are trying to expand to more markets. Pricing is very respectable.
I do have a narrowed MWC 9" rear in my car. 3"/side. I am currently running Weld RTS wheels in 15" sizes. I have a new set of 17" TT2's in my shop that I could just order 2 rears for and run them(even have tires already- but I desperately want to be different than the other 15 million F-bodies with 17" TTs's or 17's in general.
this is exactly what I want- 19x8, 9, or 10" for the fronts and 19x11 out back. I will only settle for 18's if it is just too good a deal to pass up. That's why the discounted Fikse thread is so appealing- but I'd rather Classics to the Profil Series, so I am looking at other makes.
I have contacted Fikse, CCW, True Forged, HRE so far on wheels that I'd consider. CCW I can only do the 3-peice, and they all only go to 18's. I had 18" Classics on my C5, nice wheels but cleaning them SUCKED. If I go Fikse, the options are so limited- but at least they are cleared, easier clean up, little polishing. True Forged Offered my a sweet price. And HRE are over 5G's!!
I am wanted to stay in the 3000-3,500 dollar arena. Centers have to be P/C'ed or cleared, as I loathe polishing wheels.
Here my freind Dan's T/A on 19's, they fit soooo perfectly.
Here's my Car as it sits now-

Tran- I have looking at the forgestars- but it's been a lil while- I'll check them out again. Pretty much- all the ones that I can get the proper BS'ing with are all 3-piece.

Easy to clean...I like mesh- but am leaning towards 5 Spokes/7Spoke.
Right now- i am leaning to the TF Wheels- you can see there stuff on Facebook under true forged.
these are there 'sleeper' wheels-
I like those- but love these- Formula's- (I'd do the graphite centers)
Graphite centers on a charger-
If not the TF's- i'd do the Fikse Profil 13's in 19".
I checked out the Bonspeeds- cool that they do the color/clear options now.
