Not into what ifs... Just do it and move on.

Roarvette:

This was part of the, "What If's", until now. This is why I am asking this question to everyone.

I solved this problem, I have a Patent that will be issued in the next few weeks, and am hoping to introduce the product that will allow, "This impossible of the past to be possible moving forward."

The "What/if's" that people have had to accept, I think will no longer be something people have to sacrifice in their car builds.

It IS a real product with a "Utility Patent", so I know it is possible, as the "what if's", were part of the Claims that the Patent was made to solve.

The comments previously mentioned, are exactly the frustrations I have been having with where the wheel industry has gone, and I wanted something different.

I am hoping that many will offer there thoughts about this subject, as a unscientific sampling of the want's and needs of the Pro-Touring/Vintage car after market.

Further, if there are a large number of people who love the big hoops, and that type of look is preferred to them, I would also be very interested in their input and opinions.

Also, if there are issues that I have NOT thought about in the design, the faster I can be made aware of these item(s), the faster and better product I will be able to bring to the Market.

I ask that you and the rest of the people who enjoy these cars will participate in helping me bring a better solution to an issue that been a "pet peeve" of mine for a long time.

I encourage you to add your thoughts, or wants, in a product that does solve this problem.

Thanks, I hope you take the time to read my response back to you..

Sincerely,

Ty O'Neal
