Cool, I look forward to what you have come up with. If F1 cars can still run 13" wheels, obviously it is possible to get looks and performance.

Not mine, it does look "correct" though.

Curious to see what you've got going on. When are you spilling the beans?

I was a staunch 15" wheel guy for 45 years but I reluctantly went with 18" wheels to accommodate big brakes and modern suspension components. It took me a while to get accustomed to the bigger wheel diameter but I like the look now within reason.

This car has been my inspiration for years.


This is what I built.

Steve .. wouldn't want to see your car ANY other way than the way it sits today
It's perfect. NOT a fan of big sidewalls unless on a 4X4

Cheers

I do like the smaller size but tire availability is the concern. I'm currently running 16" Superlite replicas with Toyo R888 in 255/50R16. I picked out this total package and there are very few other tires in that size.


Have you seen the RS wheels? I really like the black wheels with the center caps but would prefer 18" diameter.

Both cars are stunning and I remember the "Trans AM" car from way back. You did a really nice job with it.
