Sounds cool! We can do that.

The DSE Camaro at the start of this thread was on the ZX3. (That car was built before the release of the GZ3.)

Well the GZ3 is the newer updated version of the ZX3. The main difference is that it is designed with I-beamed spokes, which increases the strength and rigidity of the spokes plus reduces weight. So holding all else constant, the GZ3 is stronger, stiffer, and lighter.
I'll try to post a couple closeups of the spokes. OK, I'm struggling to find a closeup shot of the ZX3 spokes, so I'll use the ZX3R. (Same wheel, just more material hogged out of the lug center and won't accept a standard press-in center cap.) It is the spokes that I want you to see.
