MAR Wheels? Anyone heard of these or know where I can find some info on them? I saw a set on a black Camaro at the F-Body Reunion in Bowling Green this past weekend and they looked awesome. Very Fikse FM5ish.
If anyone else was there, it was the black Camaro with the black wheels with a polished lip.

What do you need to know? 
That was my car you saw, and I designed the wheels. The whole story is here:

The reaction to my wheels is absolutely overwhelming. Someone offered to buy the wheels right off my car while I was there. More than a few people had already e-mailed me by the time I got home from the event, with attached pictures of my car. Kinda crazy!
I have some damn nice images of them, but I have been having a hard time getting them edited and uploaded. I will post when I get to it. For now, click the link in my sig and scroll down.
Anyway, if you have questions, ask away.

What about the guys that want 17" wheels??
I really like your wheels & would probably go for those instead of the Fikse wheels I want. I saw your pricing for 18", what about 17" x 9" & 17" X 11" ??
Would pricing be the same??

If you don't mind me asking for your opinion for my info, why a preference of 17 over 18? These days, it seems that people are going 18s or higher. Only curious.
I race more than show. I perfer the 17" wheels to keep it close to stock in look & performance. This way there is no speedo changing involved, no loss of 0-60 time & speed & no loss of time in the 1/4. From what I understand the bigger the wheel the slower the acceleration but you pick up some in top speed. Seein as how I never do any top speed runs it wont be hurting me to stay with 17's. And I would even consider buying (2) 16" X 11" wheels designed with plenty of clearance to allow a brake upgrade. That would be awsome to have a set of 16's that match the 17's just with a set of drag radials for the track days. Then all you would have to do is swap wheels & go. Then they could still all match without having to buy a complete set of (4) wheels & tires just for the track. Heck I would probably even run the 16" on the street sometimes for that little extra edge.
Plus I still think of my car as an image of Amercan Muscle. What I mean by that is, I want to stick with a older American Muscle car look. 18's & up are great for show & just daily drive with occasional runs. But me, I run someone everyday. So hopefully you can see why I am wanting to stick with the sizes I have chosen.
Dont get me wrong, I have seen some nice F-bodies with wheels larger than 17's, its just not for me personally.

Well, this sorta fell by the wayside due to lots of stuff going on. Sorry about that.
I decided that I'd better put up some decent pics for you guys to take a look at like I promised before too much time passes.
I threw some pics into a simple gallery on my web site...

The images are a little clearer than the previous ones I had up.
