I'd like to fit a 275 on all 4 corners.

There is also another alternative that I won't reveal until I can confirm they will actually make wheels for my application, but if they will, the end result should be REAL different, period correct, and stunning.

I'm not so much a fan of the Team3 and Vintage Wheel works knockoffs. They don't look right to me, although they would work in a pinch. They're just not my first choices.

I've also been in touch with BBS USA about a set of modular racing wheels like Big Red runs. Gold on Gold could be pretty cool, but at $4300 for a set, its a pricy option

I desperately need some street rubber so its a top priority for me, along with the cage.

Part of me wishes I had kept 12" brakes so I could run the white letter goodyears on legit magnesium minilites. I know of a set for sale. But one track day on the OEM style brakes was enough to convince me I needed a proper braking system.

I'm simply pushing the car too hard to be skimping on things like safety and brakes.

Will keep everyone in the loop on the wheel situation, I'm excited about it.

Dane:

Your Wilwoods, at least in that one picture you posted, look like they would work fine with the PSE wheels.

Anyway, being able to actually meet the guy would be very cool.

Take care.
