This tends to make the front wheels look very "flat" ie not much "dish" to them, much like what a current late model vette looks like. I much prefer the look of a little more depth to the front wheel appearance on a 60's musclecar, and the DSE accomplishes this since they are using a totally different approach...Just my $.02 -Rob
I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. Our subframe has a 1/2" wider hub track than stock and does not require a flat-faced wheel, but keeps scrub in the optimum range.

Bowtie, a small correction, you can indeed run a 10" wheel with our subframe. Heck, we have one customer running a 295mm tire.

At any rate, pick whatever subframe you think looks the best. If you like the look of a stock appearing subframe, go with DSE. If you like the fabbed/aftermarket look, use ours. Both drive very similar and handle extremely well and there isn't anybody on these forums who would be able to tell the difference. I bet the weight between the two is darn close, also.
