Looks Killer , It's great that Frank and Forgeline came through for you...but it is also good for them. Your build is way up there in terms of quality and history. So what wheel company would not jump at the chance. Congrats on such a killer car. You really have taken a cool car to the next level. It is no longer the car that Stielow built but rather the car that Jody built! I love the new version (But the old version was killer too).

Well I'm glad a few people agree with me. Here is a rendering with modern wheels and gunmetal finish that Jody posted a long time ago.

Well, I love it just the way it is. I really like the way the taller 19 is filling the rear wheel well. I never really thought 18s were tall enough on those cars with those big ole wheel wells. I believe it could be lower also.

The sizes look right to me, and the color works just fine. Problem with the gunmetal center is if you miss by a few shades it realy looks like you screwed up!

The big question is, what does Jody think?

I think you guys nailed it! I think the black wheel centers will play well off the black interior once it's on the ground. Agree that the rear needs to come down a little more... but the diamond edge detail in the wheels matches well with the high level of detail in every other area of the car. Just need a "Steven Rupp/lighted interior/shot from a ladder" pic to bring it all together in one visual...

btw I think the car should be nicknamed "Cialis" for obvious reasons!

Default I love the wheels!

Completely different attitude from the old wheels.

How about an up close detail pic of those new shoes

Jody,

I wanted to say thank you for choosing the new wheel style for this project.
It really is a beautiful car and all your hard work and passion shows.

We are proud to be the wheel of choice for such a high profile car.

Please keep us updated on how things progress with the car and I am sure we will be seeing a lot more Mali2ude this summer.

Let me know if there is anything at all we can do for you.

It's been a pleasure working with you and Frank.

Best regards,

Scott Main
Forgeline Motorsports
