I can only image the price difference from back in day to present day....

surprisingly its not that much more. but they are about to go up again, i believe 10%.

the way i would package them before, two wheel boxes strapped together, would help save quite a bit on shipping. the shipping is a bit of a killer here. BUT, even with shipping, you can get a set of 18s for well under $4k.

the truth is, we never really raised our prices the entire time we were in business. over 10 years. unlike other companies.

So will these have the TF center caps and markings like the originals

the center caps will be different. im now about 80 miles away from the laser engraver who did them. he took forever and i was only able to get small amounts done at a time. it was very inefficient. the custom engraving option is no more. we will be doing a basic engraved logo on our center cap, much like our very first caps but much cleaner. similar to what ccw offers which everyone seem to love.

chicane rs?

id have to check on that one. it was a limited run. with more orders coming in, its easier to push for additional designs.

we have the Classics knock off? lol. funny thing is we took the pre-existing design of the Chicane RS and modified it to have more spokes. once finished and the wheels were made, i said "oh snap, those look like Classics!" lol. purely coincidental. they really look like them with stepped lips. and you can get them in 20".

we do have the 8 spoke version of the Chicane, the Competition. just got an order for a set of these for a terminator.

True.

I recall Steve saying only 2 or 3 Mach 5's had the acrylic coating done because it wasn't cost effective.

it was two sets. and the reason was due to the containment needed to spray the clear. it easily spread onto other parts near by when they would shoot it. unlike normal clear. they said it was a nightmare to deal with.

Those TFs changed the foxbody! That year, people at Knott’s lost their minds. Some of them swore I re-painted the car too

I miss the GT500’s TF wheels more than the GT500

Welcome back Steve and I know that 04 SY. Mach 5's are a great Terminator wheel.

Awesome .

Steve this means my Mach 5's in acrylic clear aren't as rare anymore?

What most don't know, is those rare wheels were in my living room for a few days, which is sort of funny.

This feels like a blast from the past. I always liked the TF wheels and parts but got away from the newer vehicles for a while.
