The wheels are 15x8" Superlite's - custom made. I lucked out a few years ago when someone ordered them and then backed out. They were sitting in the warehouse and I got a deal on them. The original buyer was going to use them on a Midget also. Tires are Kumho ECSTA V700 225/45/15's.
Right now the car is waiting for me to start taking it apart and finish the body work and paint it this winter. I also plan to build a new front suspension with adjustable a-arms, coil-overs, and balljoints (getting rid of kingpins). I just need some good weather this weekend.....
Oh and the other fender has been on for a while as you can see...[/quote]
Looks good. :bigthumg: If you swap to ball joint style front suspension won't you have to change lug patterns?

I'm leaning towards the 4x4.25" pattern so that I can get wheels anywhere (Mustang 5.0's) so I can mount my race tires and a set of streets.

Why not just drill it for 4x114 (FC Rx7)???Use the old phone dial wheels off the early FC's or 84-85 SE's.
Also, I can't go that big with the front hubs I plan to make/use :smirk:

I assume that you mean the one on the track. It was at Summit Point Raceway in WV. I did a Track day and time trial with the NASA group. That pic was taken on my first track session with the instructor in the car. After that he bailed and let me go solo.
I ended up in 2nd in the time trial loosing by .06 sec to a Lotus 7, but I beat a Z-06 and a 911
I've got in-car shots if you want to see them
