Default Mike M's Cotati Speed Shop '68 Camaro on Forgeline 1PC Forged Monoblock RB1 Wheels

How do you give a first gen Camaro the same footprint (or larger) as a Corvette Z06? Mike’s incredible ’68 Chevrolet Camaro was built by Cotati Speed Shop and debuted in the Flowmaster/Hurst booth at the 2018 SEMA Show. It’s powered by a 750HP Sprint Car Chevy small block mated to a Holinger sequential six-speed gearbox and rides on a custom Art Morrison chassis, Brembo brakes, 295/20ZR19 & 355/30ZR19 Kumho Ecsta ACR tires, and 19x11/19x13 Forgeline one piece forged monobock RB1 wheels finished in Transparent Smoke!

I should probably mention that this wrap is not the final vehicle finish. They're planning to do a real paint job. But they weren't quite done with some setup in time for the SEMA Show, so they put on this wrap for SEMA. Once they're confident that they've got the setup done, then it will get a final finish, which will probably make those flares less obvious.

I'm sorry its plain ugly with those flares and for me personally if I never see " dark " wheel again on a pro touring build I'm good with it. Very tired of the same old dark/black look everyone is building. Polish that wheel along and you would have a good looking wheel. Why would one want to run the look that every late model car has and contractor/ soccer mom runs on their rig? Dark... cheers

No actually it is on a completely custom Art Morrison chassis, is powered by a SB2 from a sprint car, runs a Hollinger sequential transmission, and rolls on giant 295/355 Viper ACR tires. Very not cookie cutter. Pretty unique.

Art Morrison not unique, mine is all speed tech, not unique either, sb2 not unique.. ( my buddy is building a 62 vette right now with a art Morrison chassis and sb2 engine ( came from his circle track car) hollinger trans is unique, my trans is a legend 700, not real common in a world of t56, so what.. the most common part is the guy opening his wallet and having the car " pro built",built... very common and very boring and not very attractive with the "bushwacker flares" cheers

The look.... except for the bushwacker flares.... same old dark/black trim wheels, bumpers..... same look as the majority of pro touring cars being built.. again except for the bushwacker flares... that's unique.. ugly but unique.
