Default Speedster wheels

These would look amazing on my Touring. Anyone know where I could get them?

This is the Speedster prototype wheels in 21in and they are not available for sale. There are other aftermarket companies that makes a very similar wheel like this one.

I worked with Dan Pye of Augment Wheel Company in Toronto to create a replica set of the Speedster concept car's wheels. I opted for 20s though he's created another set of 21s for another customer. We made sure to pay attention to a lot of the small details shown in the concept car (how the petals/spokes curve to meet the lip, the indentation of those petals as they meet the lip of the wheel, the relationship between the diamond-cut and grey finish).

Here's my car:

The wheel looks fantastic. How is the build quality? How much weight did you need to use to balance the wheel and tire?

Quality's great! Wheel's are a bit heavy but it's not a big deal for me personally. I remember one of the wheels didn't need any weights to balance. The others had one or two each if I recall.

I opted for the Forgelines as they have a great reputation. @GlasWerksDMV helped create the wheels with Forgeline, and I can’t even describe the details that are lost in the photos. There is a 3D floating effect that are hands down better than the stock wheels I had on my club coupe.

I'm sure within a couple of months there will be at least a couple aftermarket companies that will replicate them direct from China. Heavier I'm sure and Boge Island $hit quality like the GT3 5 lug réplicas but they will be available.

What's the suspension setup? Looks to me like its been dropped a bit in the front and rear. If not, the I guess its just a great shot

Car was FS six month ago and the owner hasn’t posted since around that time.
