I picked up my new Forgeline SP3P’s 20x13 rear and 19x10.5 fronts with Michelin PS2’s 335-30-20 and 285-35-19 from Fed Ex earlier in the week but didn’t have time to mount them until today.
I tried to do something a little different with the color but it didn’t turn out as well as I expected. A different shade of gold might look better but now I have some time to evaluate different center colors and will probably have them stripped and coated a darker color in the future (some variation of black or grey, that was the “safer” choice). The Forgeline finish is flawless. I love the SP3P style and am glad I went with the chrome lips. So far the tires above are working well with no rubbing that I can see or hear but I would still like to lower the car a little. Overall I think it is an improvement over the stock wheels but I think a center color change will really set them off.
If you are so inclined, I would love some opinions on center colors.

Maybe if the car had gold stripes? You could always try vinyl ones (and have someone photoshop).
They look better than I expected when I first started reading the post, before looking at the pictures.
Nice wheels, but like others said, a gunmetal or silver would look better. I would go with stripes, and then match the wheels to the stripe color. Let us know what you decide.
I like it. If you want to change the color, I think a lighter gold would look good, too. Lamborghini has a new gold-color for their LP640's that might look killer.
Well, I wanted a look no one else had and I got it! Just not a good look. I still think the gold could work but definitely not this brownish/yellowish color. That lambo color just might be the ticket but now I am gun shy to try another gold.
At least I have safe tires so I can take my time with other color options. Hopefully I will get good at photo shop.
Thanks for all the input guys, hope you are feeling better Austin.
Just imagining it i wouldnt have said go for it. But looking at them, although its not exactly what i would choose, i kinda like it. Its new and you probably wont see many more like that.
I know I'm in the minority, but I like them. I think the car would look great with gold stripes and those wheels. Go vinyl or someone photo-shop it and let us see it. I think you would have one of a kind.
