The GT-Force's look like the popular GT-V
BUT the GT-FORCE are 20" and have a 3 peice center cap that cover's the lug nuts, the GT-V's are 19" max with the lug nuts exposed
These are not in production anymore; not to many people have them though.
I've only seen one G and one Z other than mine with them ever ( internet wise )

Thanks for the props guys... I just finished them yesterday.
I actually had them up for sale a while back when I was going to get a iforged sponsorship but did not sell them fast enough.
I have something else in the works, if all goes well, I have a friend that has always wanted them and I MIGHT sell them to get what I really want.

nice job! it's very clean.
did you remove the center disk from the barrel to paint, or just masked the area with the wheel intact?

It's a full Do-Luck kit
Sorry, must be the angle in which the picture was taken.
Wheels only have about 1200 miles on them at the most over the last 1.5 years.
Never never any kind of bent, the most was about nick or two on each wheel before I polished them.
I take very good care of my ****.

I took the center face off, and let me tell you I was very surprized to see how easy it was for me to losen, no air tools or any kind of torque lever needed unlike when I took apart my Maya's...those were a bit$#@
