You're pushing me closer to those wheels. Were these the ones:

Yes. Sinmilar. If you are going to pull the trigger PM me and I will give you the part numbers. BTW just to let you know they are considerably heavier than stock OEM wheels.

Yup, I knew they were heavier, but a part of me likes the looks and is willing to sacrifice (given I don't track my cab). I'd appreciate it if you could PM the numbers. Thanks, Mike.

Is there anything simple on these cars? My favorite saying "Slight modifications may be necessary".

Another awesome assemblage, Mike. Front end looks super. Did you just paint the calipers or are they PCCB?

The calipers were powder coated if that what PCCB means. The build took 2.5 months and that was with 3 weeks at the body shop.

A build like this takes 2 things time and money. And a lot of both.

Wow! Man, black cars look so awesome when they are totally clean like that. I just don't have the discipline to keep it up. Car looks great though. Good job!

Just excellent, Mike. I am also curious about your ride height- you mentioned that you didn't know where it's set, but maybe you could take a quick measurement of the fender heights and we could make an educated guess. (Measure just to the underside of the lip.)

BTW- Be sure to look me up when you're visiting your dad over the Holidays.

Regards
jim

Mike - looks great as usual. Are you going to keep this one for a while or do you have another in the wings? I'd love to see your treatment on an Arena Red 993
