Hi Stuart,

Those wheels look awesome. I had my reservations about ordering them without seeing them on the car but your pic has made up my mind. I've always liked the look of the shallow dished wheel with a 17" rim. Deep dished wheels look great with 15" rims but the 17 neds a flatter look.

Did they come with the spinners or a plain center cap?
You went with the 275/40/17 235/45/17 tyre combination?

Looking very good.

Hi Stephen,

The diff ratio is 3.45/1 Which means a box with an overdrive will probably be a must for extended open road work. I think I calculated it would be doing about 2500 RPM at 110Kmh with a 1-1 top gear.

You shouldn't feel your a lepper at the club meeting just 'cause you haven't started your build yet. I'm sure most of the people in the club have been in the same situation before you. But for the next meeting don't forget to wear rags and carry bell.

Cheers
