Looking for pictures of L's with these wheels..

[tms217]

I'm getting ready to buy wheels and while I have found many I like, I have not been able to find pictures of them on a Lightning. Does anyone have pics of any of these wheels? Only two manufactures, True Forged and Bonspeed..

plz post up!!
im in the same boat as you bud, and happen to like every wheel you posted. However i would go with the CCWs(505a) before the True Forged. Its the same wheel design as the TF's you posted above. I have never dealt with them(true forged), heard ALOT of good things ive just dealt with CCW so many times with nothing but excellent results.

CCW does not make their wheels to fit the 5x135mm pattern.. They max out at 130mm.. I already talked to them..

im not doubting what you are saying, because we all know how the aftermarket world is different folks say different things even tho they might work for the same place. They told me they could no problem tho. If i remember correctly, the CCW's i have currently in my garage are a 138.5, i will have to double check that tho.

who did you talk to up there?

 

[tms217]

To be honest, I didnt take down his name.. after he said they couldnt make me a wheel I I lost interest. Their website confirmed the 130mm measurement. The guy I talked to didnt seem real happy..

 

[dizzygoat]

hmmm thats odd. i know they have always prided themselves in being able to make a wheel that fits YOUR ride no matter what it is. Thats why i chose them for my GTO, nobody makes wheels specifically for our cars, most everybody uses wheels made for a BMW 3 series, and more often than not require fender rolling at the least, if not cutting and/or min-tubbing also.

Yeah i emailed them and got the same thing years ago.

Would some mustang wheel adapters fit? I thought about getting some sp500's for a terminator and using adapters.:??:

 

[tms217]

You could do that, but for some reason, that does not appeal to me.. Why spend $3000 on wheels that don't really fit..

To have something on a Lightning that no one else has.

I've spent thousands to do that once and i wouldnt mine doing it again. The attention it gets being something one of thousands is amazing.:rockon:

However mines not a show truck, i still rather bogarts. I like the all business look.
