nice wheels!! those things cost a mint now with weld going down the gurgler! near on impossible to get wheels out of them now (with american racing wheels taking over the recievership).

looking good, whats the goal time for it?

[20b_boi]

thanks, goal is mid 9's on radials, and yes the rims are $$$ hence why i only have fronts.

What the hell happend to weld? youd think a company like that would be able to keep running?

Cheers
Dave

[The Gronk]

the price of raw alloy has gone north something cronic! they may have had fixed contracts for wheel pricing with people and just couldnt meet the prices anymore? not sure.

the weld racing wheel part of the company was still profitable though, so american racing wheels has bought it out, and will eventually still be selling all their range again.... but its a slow slow process.

i know i went to buy some centerlines for my car. the guy had to pick me up off the fround after he told me the price. they have gone up like 200bucks a rim or something like that.

2 years later and still no rear weld wheels

[20b_boi]

2 years later and still no rear weld wheels

gee thanks mate!

Only reason i dont have a set of matching rear welds, is id have to change the whole diff etc, as the offset is total out.
Also the tyres i got given to me are 16" x 10", which they wouldnt make a wheel for anyways....

[NEMESIS]

Didnt you used to have a 20B in your car?
Why the change to piston power, just curious.

[20b_boi]

just wanted a change, not many turbo v8's in victoria, most of my customers have v8's, makes sense to try one out.
20b was a good exprience, still love rotarys i have a 13bpp aswell :)

[VLT LE]

Very nice m8 l am going to your place next xmas if santa goes there twice :D

What are your plans with the car as in drag or street or show?

[20b_boi]

[20b_boi]
