If I sell off enough used parts I will get a set of USA made mono blocks.

Thanks Mark, appreciate the time!

Thanks Mark I ordered a set for track wheels. With only 5mm I am glad I didn't just take others advice. Even Forgestar said standard fitment for ZR1 brakes are 18x10 +30 offset and 18x12 +50 offset which would hit the calipers.

thanks for the updates Mark. Your explanations of why you make the changes/modifications are great. It gives us insight to your way of thinking that can benefit all of us.

The wheels look great with the yellow on the car!

I think that POS needs a set of polished wheels.

Are you planning a door like a gas door for access to the oil fill? Looking good as always, Mark.

I'm not sure if this is the one and only access to it, or if you had seen it a few pages back.
