Besides I read somewhere on here that the original prices would be here for "a while" , maybe 10/7 or so would be a good time.....

Wow you people complain about 100 bucks difference(or 140 in the case of the anthracite wheels)? I had my cousin call american racing(he sells their wheels at his shop, and works directly with them) and his price alone was 201 per wheel for the 17x9s. even at 839 it still seems like an amazingly fair price!(regardless of color...I mean tomzwheels has to make a profit somehow!) the prices he charges sometimes seems unreal compared to just bout every other company!(when i got my tt2s, i got them at cost to my cousin, and they were about the same price tomzwheels sells em for)

But this is besides the point.....who wants to pay more if they dont have to? The price given was just that... a special for forum members and was suppose to "for awhile". I dont think anyone was saying Tom couldnt make a profit its just that people should honor what they say. And who really knows if there will be a price increase. That person they spoke to that posted here could be wrong.

Ain't puttin no ford wheels on my Chevy ! To each his on . Whats next, a ford engine in a Chevy body ? TT'2s still look better. Polished aluminum will always look better than chrome. Besides , hey, you ever hear of buffing wheels or mother's alum. polisher ? Yes ,it may take a little effort on your part if you just have to have the shinest wheels but the ones on my truck are 6 or 7 years old & have never been polished & I still get compliments on them all the time. Just spray em with armor all alum wheel cleaner & hit em with high pressure car wash & they look freshly polished.Oh, & by the way, american makes chrome TT2'
s but grab your wallet!

As I stated above, they didn't have the wheels available. With this knowledge, it seems quite odd that they would raise the price before they even get more than one set sold to the public.

LMMFAO, Mustang looking wheels? I may as well get GT badges on mine. Polished aluminum looks better than chrome? That's about the funniest thing I've heard in a while. Keep telling yourself that!
![Thatfunny](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/thatfunny.gif)
So why do you polish them again? Oh wait, to make them look like chrome.

Now here's what I don't get. The only difference between the TT2's and TTM's is a stepped lip and availibility in chrome. So are the TT2's Mustang wheels and the new TTM's Mustang GT wheels? They are practically the same wheel.
