    i think they might throw something together real quick....... i can't imagine letting a little bump into the tires keep them completey out of the race!!!

    IDK bro, I'm gonna disagree with you on this one. Sure there's better looking wheels out there but these are Foose design and a clear retro look and I think they're cool. Ever have a 70s Mopar?? I did, or the fam did, a 74 Dodge Dart fastback with a 318 (brown of course, lol). It's wheels were almost exactly like that, a steel wheel w/little cutouts all the way around with a chrome snap-on trim lip ring. I'm sure that's what Chip was shooting for in designing those wheels, trying to pay homage to classic Mopar design.

    That's cool. I understand paying homage to the Mopars of yesteryear but they simply don't flow with the modern day muscle that is the current Challenger (to me). That is all. Now, if they would have thrown on some Foose 5 stars or even some old Cragars!!!! HAHAHAHA.

    I think the prob is the original wheel wasn't all that cool looking to begin with, lol! Some of those old muscle car wheels transfer really well to today's cars and give the proper "retro" feel needed but these ... maybe not so much. I can see why you don't like them monkeyboy but I do. :grin:

    crap. I was thinking how if I got wind of this race a little earlier and I could talk Cam into taking a few weeks off, how we'd make a cute couple on the circuit. Mebbe next year. Cam you listening buddy? We could get sponsors easy on this.

    Well I am kinda serious about going for this next year. With all the people we know here and elsewhere we can scare up some sponsor money to help pay for the tires ... and the gas.
