Every so often I have to step away to preserve my sanity. To keep from getting too far away from the project mentally, I usually work on plans and do research for parts to fit those plans.
I hadn't made a final decision on wheels, so I decided to do that for this recess period. After looking at wheels until I fell asleep a few nights in a row, I finally settled (I think
) on Forgeline ZX3Ps - brushed center/gloss black rims. I think they have a slight resemblance to the original T wagon wheels. I'll probably run 18s up front and 19s in back. I wanted a really lightweight wheel, but big enough to fit huge brakes. Even though the truck is going to be a featherweight, there won't be any engine braking. I want to kind of go off the deep end with the brakes to make sure there's no fade after repeated abuse. I still have to figure out what those big brakes are going to be, but needed to figure out how much room I'd have for them first.
A question: What are the best double-adjustable coil-overs for racing? I thought I was going to be running QA1s but after reading some comments about them in another thread here, I'm thinking maybe I need to find something a little more hardcore. Suggestions?
The rendering in my first post has been updated with the ZX3Ps. Hold control down and refresh if you still see HREs (I think it's shift for MACs).
