Got the wheels on, next we will lower it with Hotchkis springs. But looking like it is going in the right direction.
The wheels are 19 X 9 1/2 with 275 / 35 / 19 and 19 X 11 with 305 / 30 / 19 Michelin PS2s

Yeah, they are more money but much better looking and way more Geometrically correct, but enlarged.
Right now they only come in 19s, which look right to me anyway. A set of these retail for $4400 with polished lips and solid powder coated centers (solid powder coated centers all one color, meaning no uncoated face of the wheel).
Full chrome like these retail for $5200.
We will be sponsoring here soon and offering some special pricing. Stay tuned

I dont think they look bad on the formula either! I actually like them! And It says the wheels are made to your specs, so I would assume that you could have them made with a wider lip on the rears... I think they Would look awesome on my Silver TA!
I'm planning on ordering these for my car. Instead of having the gold accents I'll have them done in black and with the rear-end being 3" shorter on each side I should have all kinds of lip on the rear wheels
Anyone want to do a quick photoshop?

+2 for the photoshop... lets see the snowflakes on a silver TA!!!! or formula or whatever.... I am thinking about these wheels as well, and uch like slvrhwk, have a narrowed rear and minitubs going in to match!
It's good to see that Prodigy is in the process of becoming a sponsor over here. I talked to Frank a while back about getting some Black Chrome/Chrome Forgeline SP3Ps for my NBM SS and he seemed like he would be great to deal with and prices were good compared to several other places I had called. Hopefully with the upcoming special pricing they will look even better.

Brad, we can build them to just about any specs. They do look sick with a big lip, just look at the white 69 TA, it has a 6" lip!!! We are going to be putting a Moser rear in the WS6 car and when we do I plan to narrow rear a bit and redo the wheels (one of the cool things about 3 piece wheels) with a deeper lip. Really helps show how wide the tires are on the side profile.
NBM, thanks for the good word, you know we have the hook up on the Forgelines. We are just waiting for our insertion order for the advertising, and we will be on.
I have a few more sets of these centers being cut. I am having one experimental center done I think will be very cool. We are going to polish the center, then do a transparent gold powder coat on it, which should look like anodize gold on crack! I cannot wait to see it.
Sivrhwk, your black accented wheel is at the end of this post. I thing it would look smokin. Gunmetal gray accents would look awesome to!
Tony, what's up. I agree on the black, but Lisa REALLY wanted chrome since the factory wheels were chrome, and I just cannot quite figure out how to highlight chrome with black. And you know those Lisa's get what they want! I think they will look better when we get those big narly 14" red Willwood (6) piston calipers behind them. Should pull the red real nicely.
I will get with Jason and see what we have to do to get this advertising going right away. My insertion order should have been here already. Forgeline has a pricing increase of 5% coming at the beginning of February, so were doing a beat inflation deal on wheels. I would love to be able to offer it here.
