cleghornm Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just put this on, they are from Trueforgedwheels. I think they look great. Steve the rear wheels where the lug nuts go are not recessed as much as the fronts, is that normal? What does everyone think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eds10shelby Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Nothing looks better on a black car/truck than chrome wheels. Only other option IMO are gloss black wheels with a polished lip. Those wheels look great on your car!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblectric Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Cant go wrong with black/chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010KonaBlueGT Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 the rear wheels where the lug nuts go are not recessed as much as the fronts, is that normal? That doesn't look right. Is the lug nut shoulder up against the outside edge of the hole or is the tapered part bottomed in the wheel? Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleghornm Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 The taper of the lug nut is seated against the wheel. The other side is the same way. Steve from Trueforgedwheels is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergenfelter Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 The taper of the lug not is seated against the wheel. The other side is the same way. Steve from Trueforgedwheels is this correct? I would not drive the vehicle until you get this straightened out with your wheel dealer. You can damage the wheels and studs and in extreme cases can even cause stud failure and wheel separation. Be careful until you get this squared away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJinLV Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Looks great, but the rear lugs look too big? Are they seated correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfast70 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I would not be happy with the lug nut offset being that great. Maybe post over on the SVT site as Steve seems to be more active over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those wheels look great on your car!! IMO chrome wheels looks great on any color...not to diss on anyone but black wheels just makes any car look like a police car or taxi cab JMHO.

Mr. Haney Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 The problem is the hub has to be much thicker for the front wheels versus the rear wheels. This is done to achieve the necessary clearance for the 15" Brembo brake calipers. The studs are only so long to protrude through the hub of the wheel. This makes the front lug nuts recessed in the hub, while the rears are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
