Wheels are finished! Having these built made a lot of things possible that otherwise wouldn't be. They have preserved the classic look of the car while allowing 19 and 20in Y speed rated (186mph) Michelin PS2's and also clearance for C6 Z06 brakes.

All of this should compliment the Roadster Shop chassis well.

Thanks to Larry and the crew at EVOD for the impressive illusion!

Holy wheels Jim, if I didn't know better I would bet money thoughs were hub caps!! You will fool a lot of people with those that's for sure. Way to go keeping the look and feel of the org wheels!

Now you just need some BLACK paint on that car!!!

Those wheels are gorgeous.

If a nice set of forgelines starts at $4k, can you tell us if those are less than double that price ? Just looking for a ballpark.

I absolutely love billet recreations of classic wheels.

I just read this from the start. Wow! What a cool build. From the wheels up, very very cool.

THx

and preston, no, more like triple plus some change but these are on the high end because of the diameters and simulated sidewall/painting/etc. Starting price on a simpler one-off would be much less.
