I dropped the Boze wheels off at the UPS store the evening. I can't say I was happy to see them go. They sure did gleam in the store. I'm sure many of you are wondering if I have a screw loose. The fact of the matter is I've changed my ways throughout the build of this car. It started out as just a fairly stock restoration, then I saw the pro touring stuff and wanted the look. Now I'm all about performance. Those wheels aren't the optimal choice performance wise for my car. The fronts weren't wide enough to take advantage of my front subframe and the 19's are heavy out back. The compound wasn't as soft as I would like either. I've got to be fairly responsible to myself. The new ZL-1 build goes a little beyond that. I have a brand new radiator on the way and my current clutch won't work. Of course that's just a small part of the snowball. The wheels were collecting dust and hadn't been on since June so they went down the road. Sure the car was designed after those wheels but I've grown to like the new look better. It's the feel it give the car. I may eventually brush all the chrome on the outside of the car. That will be down the road. Plus Frank @ Prodigy Customs cuts me some killer deals on wheels and tires. If I had a second set of wheels, I'd want A6's for autocross at this point. I don't plan on driving from here to Maine in this car. The R888's will be fine for what I have planned for the street and track.

Good thing you bought that truck at the rate you are unloading and loading stuff lately----
