True Forged Chicane RS.

Just got my new wheels in and put them on. Still waiting on the center caps.

Fronts are 18 X 9 w/ 265-35-18's and the rears are 18 X 10 w/ 295-35-18 Goodyear GS-D3's.

Let me know what you think?

Kevin, those are outrageous! I love 'em!


Dishes are sweet but it can be hard to find some that don't make the wheel diameter look small. You did what I think is difficult and found a style that doesn't do that!

The design itself is a great choice. Just the kind of wheels I'd buy if I ever had the cheddar. Looks like you nailed the backspacing right on the head too, o' course.

It's kinda neat that they come with a cell phone holster/attachment too. That's a new trend I haven't seen yet.

Enjoy my friend!

Thanks JT.

I know what you are saying about a deep dish making the wheel look small. Thats why I went with 18" and stayed with a polished center section. The stock wheels in chrome looked good so I figured I can't go wrong with polished.

The phone was a friends idea. He works for AT&T and wanted to see how big the lip was compared to my Blackberry. I figured it would give some perception of the size of the lip better then the tape measure. They really deep in person.

Wheels that nice are to nice to even be driven on

I would be scared to pull them out of the garage.

Are they modeled after the FR-500 wheels?

Those are killer Kevin. You sure know how to set-up a stang

Thanks David.

They are not molded after the FR-500's. They are a custom 2 piece designed forged wheel. They are much lighter and stronger than cast wheels. (ie. like stock)
