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

Those wheels are slick!! Are you getting Spares just incase?

Nothing significant but some totes to carry gear for my trip.

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.

WHAT??? That's what earplugs are for.

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.

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.

Digging that wheel. Looks like a deep dish Saleen beadlock.

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.

My entire idea was to keep with the Saleen look on my car. Although i had these made in a deeper concave than the normal saleen wheel.

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.

[RAU03MACH]

Ordered a 30 lbs bottle of r134a
Also ordered some freeze 12 that shit is expensive

 

[07GtS197]

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.

 

[RAU03MACH]

I switched one of the cars over
R134a was not cooling off in my mach1
I tried freeze 12 nippy cold
