Would love to have this design with this same machined lip but the option of Arctic Silver centers so factory center caps (gold crest or monotone), and the gray from the current RS Spyder II wheel, so those center caps could be used (gold crest or monotone). Love that it isn't the same paint treatment as the 911-50 wheel. Nice to do something else. I wish Porsche Exclusive would offer something like this...as they already have the fronts done.

Urgg-ulp. Those 4 spokes made me throw up in my mouth a little.

That’s called a “vurp”.

That's not bad, but I'd like the petals to stop just short of the barrel. And certainly not extend into the rim. That extension, with the narrowing of the polished rim section where it happens, really bothers me.

Saw a set today on a Cayman at a coffee event, 911-50 style as mentioned repeatedly above, but the petals, barrel and rim were all the same silver. Couldn't tell they extended into the rim unless you were looking specifically for it. JMHO.

MANY different styles and brands of the 5 spoke Fuchs inspired wheels at this event. These 911-50/Speedster are still the best looking to my eye.

Default The wheel is ready!

Folks,

I know it's been awhile, but I have good news! The wheel is ready! I placed my order this morning, in fact. I've attached some sample pictures of the wheel below. It's available in all of Forgeline's usual finishes (available at https://forgeline.com/finishes/). If you're interested in placing an order, you can contact the wholesaler, Adrian, at bluephobic61@gmail.com. I'll be sure to post pics of my Targa once the new shoes arrive.
