Default "S71" Olds gets new wheels

...well, not really, but soon!

We've been working with Gary at Steet Smart Classics to help him complete the development of their billet Super Stock II Olds wheel. It seems they are made with a really thick face to mimic the stamped steel Olds SSII wheels, so they're tricky to make - and expensive. However, we think we've got him convinced to move forward with the project.

Here's the final rendering with the new wheels and the redline tires - another "Hermance-terpiece"...



All the videos of the build of this car and the blogs can be found on our site, www.v8tvshow.com.

Very nice. I've always liked those wheels. I'd love to see what they look like "Super Sized".

This car is like a trip back down memory lane. I hadn't seen the wheels on the blog yet but the pics make the bars funny looking to me. And I'm sure they will be atleast $500 a pop. Too rich for my blood.
