Yep that sounds great, Scott! Do you have a guess what time window you might want to talk on Wednesday? (I'll try not to wander too far away.)

HA......another Plainfield guy!! Can't wait to see your car finished as I'm in Plainfield as well.

Are you building it yourself?

Mark, please don't wait around for me. I am not sure what time I will be able to get there. I am going with a few other car guys. Do you have a best time frame that you will be there for awhile?

Yes i am building it myself. I can't wait to see it finished someday. X-mas coming early this year. Dse subframe and roll cage coming this week.

I'd say early afternoon is my best guess. Plane is scheduled to arrive at 9AM. Can't check into the hotel that early anyway, so I'll probably drop off my luggage, find some food, and head straight to the show. So maybe 1-3PM?

Dave and Steve will also be working on Tuesday. So if you miss me, they'll help you.

Travel safely!!

I'd like the GZ3 without the hardware exposed, polished outer rim, and some sort of brushed center.

Was what was in the DSE a GZ3 or the ZX3?
What are the differences? i couldn't tell other than the manufactoring is different?

I'm cool with either....

Sounds cool! We can do that.

The DSE Camaro at the start of this thread was on the ZX3. (That car was built before the release of the GZ3.)

Well the GZ3 is the newer updated version of the ZX3. The main difference is that it is designed with I-beamed spokes, which increases the strength and rigidity of the spokes plus reduces weight. So holding all else constant, the GZ3 is stronger, stiffer, and lighter.

I'll try to post a couple closeups of the spokes. OK, I'm struggling to find a closeup shot of the ZX3 spokes, so I'll use the ZX3R. (Same wheel, just more material hogged out of the lug center and won't accept a standard press-in center cap.) It is the spokes that I want you to see.

Ok, i can see it now. I wasnt sure what you ment by "I" beam (and i am familar with construction) as i couldnt see it before. I like the non I beam type. And dont go changing that outer lip color on me cause now im falling for the blue with black (colors of the car). Just kiddn, thanx for all your checking in.....
