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 can sum this car up with one word: stunning!

The paint is stunning.
The engine is stunning.
The wheels are stunning.
The car is Stunning!

I hate to say it, but the only thing that needs updating, and it's only because you have gone so far with the car, is the interior.

Shiny Side Up!

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
