Thumbs up New wheels...

The wheels for my semi-daily Formula came in yesterday....

Holeshot Sun Flare's w/ Gold Centers

Front: 15 x 4
9lbs w/ center cap

Rear: 15 x 10
14.4lbs w/ center cap





I'm very impressed with the quality of the product! Tires should be here next week and I'm looking forward to seeing them on the car!

Nice car. What did those wheels set you back?

Thanks!

With the anodizing and getting the rears made with a thicker center section than normal it was a little over $1700 w/ shipping.

Factory style brake setup. The car has already had multiple wheel styles on it from 15in prostars etc.. to 17in Fiske's on it so I shouldn't have to do any grinding but we'll see. I'm going to test fit them tomorrow and tires should be here on Wed.

Look forward to seeing how they're going to look. I actually think those wheels would look pretty killer on my Pewter Metallic WS6.

Wheels are on... [ No center caps in these pics ]

Had to grind a little on the previously ground brakes but that was about it. I did have to clearance the front of the inner fender wheel well. No spacers used in the back....

For the fronts I didn't feel like grinding on the brakes since we were going to track later that day so I got a 5/16 spacer and no rubbing at all.

What suspension do you have on the car? I think it looks money to me.

Thanks guys! I'm really digging them. As with everything.....they look better in person on the car.


Rise of the Phoenix... The car still has the factory shocks n springs in the rear. It does however have a factory width Moser 9in, Spohn lower control arms, Spohn panard bar, and an aftermarket swaybar. Front suspension is all factory.
