Does it seem that every single picture of his car there is a tire track on the ground... coincidence?

Dane:

You MUST put a link of track session from the drones POV.

It would be epic!

Will speak to you later about this.

Take care,

I can set the height, distance, and angle at which the camera points at the car. As long as I have a bluetooth enabled smartphone in the car, the drone will follow and record.

I have a track event coming in March out at chuckwalla. I am looking forward to stretching its legs.

Driving it around LA is so frustrating with the traffic :underchair:

Big thanksfor getting onto the 17" minilites. What size did you get ???
Ive been trying to track down a set for ages, but only found ET & Vintage wheels,....sorry the look wasnt right for me either.
Im chasing a pair of 17x8s for the front n 19x9s or9.5s for the rear..
Im probably being rude but could you tell me the cost ???

I was obsessed with those wheels for along time(and still am) the original maker,PS engineering retired and sold out to vintage wheels. Last year I called them for info and I believe they said $475 a piece for 17x9.5.
The main problem(besides not coming in 18") is the .75" clearance from mounting face to back of spoke makes it hard to fit big brakes. If you go back thru the build thread you see daign uses the Wilwood rotors with extra offset hat to skirt this.
I am running a Morrison front end with corvette hubs and the Z51 Wilwood aerolite brake calipers with DBA 5000 rotors that are very close dimensionally to OEM Z06 brakes and require 1.25" spoke space so it wasn't gonna work.
The closest wheel I found was the bonspeed wheels but those where like twice the price and weigh something like 28lbs.
If I recall the vintage wheel guy said the t/a-II's are 24lbs for the 9.5s
There's really nothing on the market that has the look of the PS wheels. They always screw up the spoke shape or they add the 2nd ring on the inside like ET or they don't have the rough texture mag look finish.
There's a British company called super lite that makes a nice version but I could never get a response from any emails
I've been kicking around the idea of making a set of my own as I have friend that knows catia and could FEA a CAD model for me but I shudder at the thought of what machining a custom set of wheels would run
