Here's a couple shots with the front Forgeline ZX3R's, 10 1/2" and titanium fastners with michelin pilot sport cup tires. The front fenders were not on the car when I ordered them so I played it safe knowing I can replace the shells and widen the wheels after.

Too many pictures I know, but I really love the wheels. The pictures don't do them justice. The guys at forgeline are extremely helpfull and I strongly recomend them to anyone.

And here's the back. Same thing but 13" wide. The tires are the M/T wich should work well for some initial testing and 1 mile runs. You can see the flares well in these photos, all made in steel.

Thank you. I waited a long time for that. My wife wears my first 1000 horse motor on her finger. Took me over 5 years after that before I could think about building it. lol

This is a really nice ride, from the perimeter frame, to the engine and yes the wheels (knowing how much you like them. Keep it up looks great.
BTW- first engine sitting on your wife's finger... keep in mind, she's being supportive letting you continue with the project.

The part about my wife is very true. She has been very supportive. We made an agreement to keep all my road terrors to 4 wheels and not 2 and I could make it as fast as I wanted. She probably didn't quite expect this but she never complains and is a bit of a motor head herself. She also gets to drive around in a new corvette convertible and that helps to. :)
