Forgeline is, yes. The model is FU3C (you can find it in the concave series on their website). They come in a variety of fitments, 20" included. I have a Targa GTS, and had no problem ordering them in that fitment.

Yes Forge line is making these, The Display wheel is a 20" you can build them in 18"-22" diameters 8"-14" widths, everything is built to order I doubt any 2 sets will be alike. My car is the green car thats been rendered with the champagne bronze/black wheels

That green looks fantastic, especially with those wheels!

They're pretty close, but they would be closer to the original if the petals were not curved and didn't extend into the polished rim.

I think those are gorgeous wheels! If I didn't already have TWO SETS OF WHEELS for my car I'd seriously consider them. But I'm trying to exercise some restraint...

Nice work and hats off for the effort. A great looking wheel by a top notch company.

Forgeline really out-did themselves with this new model. We've had so many inquiries on these since they unveiled last week at SEMA. I cannot wait to start having orders reach customers to start seeing real world pictures on P cars!

We shall see.

All Finished! what do you think?

Can the spokes be painted Miami Blue, and leave the Black areas Black?
