Going to sound like a biplane, lol good tires, just noisy.

Those wheels are slick!! Are you getting Spares just incase?
Between the Blower, motor, straight through mufflers, watts link and external fuel pump a little more noise isnt a concern. Grip at 700hp is my concern. If i was all about going straight id run a DR but i grew out of the straightline mentallity about 30 years ago.

Well my never ending wheel saga has come to a conclusion. Long story short i was originally just going with a forged wheel from one of the many out there. After looking at every forged wheel maker out there i came to realize they are all basically the same spoke design no matter what company you bought from. So after giving it thought i ditched that idea as paying 6k for a set of wheels seemed to be a bit steep when you know that theres hundreds of that same wheel floating around the show scene. So i decided to have a one off wheel designed to suit my car. Well after 2 years of working with a few designers i have given approval to have my wheels made and i couldnt be happier that i went the way i did. So in a few weeks the car will be back on the road thanks to a fantastic job by Victory Custom wheels in delivering me the look i was after. With that said heres a sneek peak at what i came up with. Wait to have these wrapped in some Toyo r888r's

Great looking wheel. What size(s) will you be running?

I get it, that buoyant feeling of ET streets the second you hit a high speed corner makes your butt pucker. Which is exactly why i went with the R888 too. A Watts link, that must be wild, I'm running the MM torque arm panhard setup, can only imagine a watts link.

Original plan was for a 20x12 outback with a 345. Due to being limited to about two different tires that i didnt like i decided to drop down to an 18x12 with a 335. Now i will have a better selection of tires to chose from. If and when a good 345/25/20 tire is made i will have the two rears remade in 20x12.

Well, you nailed it. Whose wheels are they? They are bad ass

Edit: Just saw. Victory. Those were a pretty penny I bet

I give the credit to Victory as he took my vision and made it a reality.
Of all the companies and rederings i went through he hit the nail on the head on his first rendering. I cant say enough good things about them.
As far as the pretty penny lets just say i could have bought another SN95 instead of just 4 wheels.

I looked at freeze 12 for my 90 Grand Marquis since it’s r134a swapped and the ac performance isn’t great but the price kept me away.
