New Forgeline wheels

[Steve1968LS2]

Thanks to the guys at Prodigy Customs and the folks over at Forgeline Penny now has a replacement set of wheels since the 17s no longer fit.

Now I have to decide if these will be my "show" wheels or my "track" wheels.

They are 18x12 and 18x10 SP03s with a stepped lip. Finish is gunmetal centers (and inner hoops), brushed outer hoops (clear coated) and titanium fasteners.

Those are sweet. They could even tempt me away from my Simmons.

Penny keeps on resetting the badness bar!

[ProdigyCustoms]

Awesome as always! Cannot wait to see them mounted.

[BMF Machine]

Those wheels are wicked! Those are tracK wheels for sure. Look so MeaN! But they are killer for shows as well. Thats it, Buy another set to keep clean for shows!:idea:

[zbugger]

Are they gonna be on Penny soon? You ARE going to be at the Pleasanton Goodguys show too, right?

[Roadbuster]

Very Nice wheels Steve!

Well that should look sinister. I've always liked the five spoke ones.

[Payton King]

I would have to run the mesh for track and keep those for steet/autocross.

[Steve1968LS2]

Test fitted them on the car today... happy to report that Forgeline nailed the offsets. Tomorrow I mount some tires. (BFG KDWs)

Close up of the front. We all voted at BOS and these will be the new "show" daily wheels and the WC3s will be the new "track" wheels.

What isn't going on? lol

New AFCO radiator with integrated oil cooler
STACK gauges
New center area with integrated Ipod touch
New wheels
New T56-Magnum tanny from Classic Motorsports (hence the driveshaft on the floor)

[Steve1968LS2]

Oh, also working on a new SS hood.

Wheels look nice Steve. I like them MUCH better than the track wheels you had at SEMA. I still think the other set you had with the polished lips look the best on Penny though.

Keep the wheels coming, it is fun to see how much they change a car's personality.

[Steve1968LS2]

Finally got the car fired back up and outside (to go to the interior shop for a little "work" - Eric Thornson in Agora Hills, CA)

This was the first time I could actually stand back and look at the wheels. I must say, I've gotten use to them and really like them now. So much so that I'm sending the WC3s to Forgeline to have the hoops brushed. They I will have zero need for any aluminum polish. Or maybe I will have them polished and cleared.

I've always been a fan of the brushed lip. That pic just cements that notion.

I think the brushed hoop on the WC3's would look fantastic.

[redfire69]

I was not a big fan of the 5 spokes... until now! What's the deal on the hood, maybe CF?

[Nappy]

Please tell me what your running for an offset on those rear wheels!
