^ Thx. Gae. They're the std bigun PT sizes: 18x10s and 12s. Mesh is always a good choice on our cars. I'm also thinking the wider stock rear is a good approach w big meats, but I don't balme you for not stretching the 1/4s...it's a lot of work! BTW, got 'em from Frank on time and at a great price....:thumbsup:

dammit Ron.. I was hoping for some 15" Torque Thrusts. :D

ahahahaha....I think Gae has some! :D

Ha Ha very funny, so funny I forgot to laugh :mad:

BTW they "were" 17's :lol:

Emphasis on "were" :thumbsup:

Your car does all the talkin' Bro...:thumbsup:

No where as clean as your's is gonna be, maybe when I retire it from the track :thumbsup:

Sweet wheels Ron, :thumbsup:

BTW, I gave in today. Bought a set of Fikse 18in Classic Mags. So much for TTDs. At least for now. :P

Battle scars, videos of you passing the field are cool...:thumbsup:

Bryan rest assured you got the best deal I have seen in the last 12 years or so on those wheels. And I'm sure Jon and Co took real good care of you! Oh, and post some pics when you get them...:yes:

Ron, those are going to look good:thumbsup:

Excellent wheel choice, Ron! Black on your car will pop real nice :thumbsup:

Nice wheels! :thumbsup:

Thx Lenie!

I have you to thank for that little design queue. "Gloss black looks like you bought 'em @ Tire Rack"...:hail:

Thx Anthony!

Wheels look killer Ron! :thumbsup:

Thx Ty. Question for you and the rest of the design team. I was talking to Scott Main this morning via email and he showed me these:

Do you think I should get the brushed cap w my flat black wheel center, red/black caliper and Silverstone color car or just stay w the flat black cap?

Here's the wheels again from Scott's website:

Edit: looking at it, the reds don't exactly match...

Love the wheels Ron, well done :thumbsup:

This is what you should get: billet engraved center cap in flat black :thumbsup:

Ron, Awsome Job on the build and Great Choice on the wheels :cheers:

Killer looking wheels Ron. That should be some motivation. I love the lip on those wheels.

I am really liking this project:thumbsup: .But is there any way you can pick up the pace.I don't want to wait much longer to see it finished.:lol: I don't have to worry about Trackjunky.He'll never get this far East.Kansas has a border check point a does not let Cal.folk's in.

:rofl: Isn't that the truth!

Nice wheels ron! :)

Thx Max. Charter member of the Forgeline fanclub...:D

Big Day...
 

Time/progress moves on. Being very close to paint, I was concerned about shooting in the wet weather and humidity. All the pros, including my painter said it's warm enough and is more a matter of flash times. So I got out of the way...

And after a long day in the booth...we have color!

Pics have a crappy green tint to them. Painter said it came out really flat, color was true. I think you can sorta see it on the passenger qtr panel if you squint. Now the fun begins. 3-4 days of rubbing/three stage polishing and then reassy...

Looks good! :woot:

Great choice in color :cheers:

Good choice in color :) :thumbsup:

Sweet. That is another milestone, Ron!

Matt

Thx fellas! :thumbsup: I'll get it assembled and roll it outside for some better pics.

Awesome Ron. Great color. :thumbsup:

Thx guys! Appreciate the compliments. Credit goes to PPG, the painter and that giant of a man Tony Rose...:captain:
