What are you thinking for wheels on this one? Do they need to be larger diameter to clear the brakes?

Steel artillery wheels -- painted / powdercoated in a contrasting color..... Bigs and little style.... hoping to get away with 17's and 16's -- but I don't know that CHRA has looked at the brakes and rotor sizes yet to determine the offset and all of that stuff.

I know they'll have to massage the front wheel opening to get me some turn radius AND some stance! I had The Roadster Shop build that chassis with a 1" longer wheelbase ---- so that will push that front tire into the wheel lip. They'll have to cut to cure! LOL

Greg, that's gonna look so damn awesome too. I love those wheels. Please tell me yours will have the baby moon in the middle.....please.....?

Thats a terrible pic but that's not a baby moon. Looks to be a 46-48 Ford cap. Baby moons are the plain,ugly caps that come on PepBoys chrome reverse wheels that retail for 38 bucks a piece....

Greg, I know you said steel artillery. The cast center and billet center Artillery wheels from WheelSmith have a much better look than the stamped ones. Just my unsolicited opinion.

With adapter to run small cap.

With large cap in 17/18.

Salt Flat wheels wouldn't look bad either.
