I’ve read the spec sheet on this build. Me and my 335hp and 3100lbs of AO will just tap out now and save myself the embarrasment.

You should go with the brown suit.

How’s about the wheels? I just saw something online about some new forged wheels and started wondering, besides the strength, is the design any kind of consideration for the aero package?

No consideration of aero. Just lightness & strength. This may seem like an"unlimited budget" build, but it's not. No carbon fiber wheels here. If you came to me & said build the fastest car on the planet, we'd need $600-700k.

These wheels are 3-piece Forgeline GZ3R competition wheels.
18x13 front & rear. Graphite Powder Coat Centers.

They only weigh 18#.

I'll be posting photos, once we mount & install them on the car early next week.

I doubt you even need Ol Yeller to be faster than them.
