I've actually been thinking about the possibility of 18"/19" steelies with dog dish hubcaps. Heck there are OEM steelies in that size.

When I sent Phil my dry sump to mock up the motor and build the mounts he said I'd be better off with the car being upside down.

I want the car to look like a 60s muscle car. Sure the low stance and wheels will give it away as not stock but I am not looking for obvious bling. To me the beauty of the chassis will be in the way the car rides, stops and corners while appearing to not even be there. If somebody is really that intrigued they can stoop down and look underneath.
