Cris@JCG · #1 11-09-2009, 06:47 PM

I had asked Jason about the mini lites @ the Goodguys Costa Mesa show.. He told me he had something close that he might be able to machine the centers for the wheels! I am intrested in the modern mini lites!!!

PS Engineering has them in 17's.. I have a 69 Z arriving this week!! It is getting some modern handling suspension!! PS Engineering mini lites, cross ram 302, Road race Tremc 5 speed, JL8 brakes & much more

We are auto crossing this car!

Just talked with Jason today about doing a three-piece mini-lite inspired wheel- maybe he can chime in. we are doing 18's and 19's. the 69 sounds like a sweet project- gotta post pics.

BTW-love the work you are putting out!

Thank you for the compliments

I cannot for the life of me remember the company name, but there is a 3pc minilite wheel, I think made in Europe, already out there and available if you are interested in searching around for an 18" package v. the 19". I had a link saved in favorites but can't seem to find it unfortunately as I love the minilite look and had Shelby copies of them on my 70 Mustang.

Awesome project. Will be a fun thread to watch!

I just saw that Agent 47 sells that new mini-lite lookin wheel in 18s I think and had Forgeline custom make them. But they are $1500 each!
