My Trueforged wheels!

**EricS197** · 08-03-2011, 05:11 AM

True Forged Steve put the wheels up on his facebook page... The wheel's "Windows" should be painted Vista Blue sometime this week...

Trying to go for a throwback look to the GT500

Those will look awesome on your car! Light weight?

Looks great Eric...what size?

**PaxtonShelby** · 08-03-2011, 09:39 AM

I'm thinking both...

Wheels look great though - can't wait to see them painted!

Love True Forged!

Yes, wallet is light.. even the money smell is gone!

Weight I'm not real sure... I think Steve said they're close to the stock wheel weight? Maybe not so much.

Was just going to run them on the streets. If I go to the track I'll run my stocker 18's with a set of 305 Nitto DRs.

Wasn't really happy about this part, but the widest tire I could find (in 20") was Toyo T1R's in 305/30R20

Something about "Toyo" brand tires on a Ford............ ah well.

I'm also getting a set of Hood vents. The trim will be brushed and the mesh center will be painted Vista Blue... When I get pictures I shall post! Should be ready by the time I get back home at the end of this month!

Nice Wheels!

**Terminated** · 08-04-2011, 04:44 PM

Sick... Don't even wanna know what the tag is on those.

**biminiLX** · 08-04-2011, 07:07 PM

Nice choice, look forward to seeing them on and with the blue.

BTW Toyo is Nitto's parent company and I have been VERY impressed with the 2 Toyo sets I've had, plus the T1Rs look sweet in that size if I remember.

Eee... If I wasn't in Afghanistan I probably wouldn't have bought them until way later.

That I didn't know and of course that makes me feel better... Just didn't want to be judged by my tires.

Wheels now have paint!

Should have them when I come home in October now...

Opinions?

**Terminated** · 09-14-2011, 04:16 PM

Wow, they look sick! The blue sets that brushed finish off!

**yeahloh95** · 09-14-2011, 04:18 PM

nice wheels are they going to stay brushed or are they going to pollish them?

**EricS197** · 09-14-2011, 04:25 PM

I wanted to go with Polished Lips / Blue Windows and Brushed spokes... but Steve talked me out of it, said it would look too busy, so it'll stay brushed. I also got a set of hood vents that will have brushed trim / Vista Blue painted mesh.

We'll see how she looks when I get home!

Sadly, the widest tire I could go with that wasn't a DR and still keep the stock tire height was a 275/35R20 in the NITTO NT05s... but oh well. :)

**Sonic03snake** · 09-14-2011, 04:37 PM

Much better with the blue.

**Cam99** · 09-14-2011, 05:13 PM

Tits!

**PaxtonShelby** · 09-14-2011, 05:50 PM

Those look great! Can't wait to see them on the car with tires!!

**Monkeygrits** · 09-19-2011, 10:47 PM

Awesome looking wheels! Look kinda like the throwback Magnums on my Mach. I think Ill stick with the 485 bucks for the 17X10.5 AFS rears. They look pricey but well worth it. Can't wait to see them mounted as well.

**EricS197** · 09-20-2011, 05:56 PM

Thanks guys! Thought having the blue painted was a gamble..

Keep an eye on True Forged's Facebook page, I told Steve to get some pictures with these mounted on his 07 White / Blue Striped GT500. They'll probably be used for an ad since they're the first set of Retros.
