TruDesign wheels - still being made?

Could not find any info/web site on current production online. Just curious if they are still around and/or in production.

I don't see how they would make sense anymore, since donor Fuchs are getting pricey and there are a number of good fuch replicas available in various widths and diameters.

Call (Tru-Design) and let us know?

I understand Tru-Design uses 16x7" Fuchs to create wide 17s. There should be plenty of 16" Fuchs to modify, 15" not so much.

The True Design website seems to be gone. I just checked.

Here's what it was when it was active: http://www.trudesignwheel.net

right, i attempted that earlier - the website. so, i guess all they did was make Fuch reps? what they produced looked very good.

Could be just the URL was abandoned. Their phone number: (303) 422-5090

The last yelp review was March of 2014.

Last I heard, Truedesign was ceasing operations as of Aug 15 2014 due to owner health issues.
My best to Jim -- a really great guy.
