Nice black car but I'll never understand having non-period wheels. Corvette rally wheels in the back and Camaro ones in the front and that vehicle would be perfection. I've seen that at Cars & Coffee. Great array of different cars... something for everyone.

Because with those brakes, rally wheels don't clear. I had the same issues with an el camino with oversize brakes. Other than the rubberbamd tires, those wheels look great. It looks like a pro touring car with modern drive train.

I agree it could do with slightly taller side wall on the tyres but other than that spot on IMHO

To each their own, but those are NOT tires.

More like wheel condoms. Fully useless and God help those people when they get a flat. Kiss those silly overpriced wheels bye, bye.

It's funny to see unfunctional low profiles like that on the street and hear the owners say, "Oh yeah... now it's like a race car." To which I reply, "Um... NO, people that track their cars actually switch to a taller profile when they get to the track."

HAHA!! Poor misinformed people.

big engine, big tires, big deal.  Wink
That was an expensive car to build, needs some minilites.
Too easy to curb rash rims with those size tires.
Drilled rotors at the track are no longer in vogue.  Lips Sealed

HA! I remember when I first saw that posted on one of my other car club's forums. GOOD STUFF. All wheel drive is a beautiful thing.

The car, itself, is cool. I remember riding in those when they were new. That one could be a million times cooler if it had smaller wheels and bigger tires. Plus, the broken axle look is just utterly feckless and serves zero purpose... beside appearing like an non-functioning car. The rest of it is nicely done.

But, to each their own. It's not my car.

Nico, that silver car is interesting. The '90s license plate painted like a '60s one could easily be swapped out for a proper one. The wheels, however, look perfect! 'Bout time someone built a fully custom 911 and opted for a more understated wheel finish. Thanks for sharing!

Fred agree the wheels are perfect.
Singer uses Harvey Weidman, imho the Fuchs meister.
More info on Harvey, he did my 11x15s and 14x15s fuchs, 7th photo down.

Found a video to study for my Miller Motorsports Park trip next weekend.
Thought I'd share some great sounds and driving.
160mph down the 3500 foot long straight with a stock motor.  Cool

Trophy?
Yeah, a big fat check from Monster! That and selling the F out of DC shoes.

Ken Block is an awesome driver. You have to know he has a blast doing this too.

How 'bout this...

Haha!! Thats how it goes when you invite a good driver to the playground. What a difference! It's not about being the best driver, it's about being the smartest he said and crashed his car.
