havent posted any pics up in awhile so here's some fapping material for ya :laugh:

just finished up these realllly custom wheels for this car that is being built by Keith Craft Motorsports in Plano, TX. its a $200k project and is going to be featured in a few magazines. it just put down over 700rwhp on pump gas and has a fully built custom suspension. im told the owner will road race and drag race the car. that he actually drives them and it wont be a trailer queen.
the wheels are 18" 3 piece Chicanes. we sent them the centers so they could have them painted to match the Mach 1 stripes. we then had the lips AND the assembly bolts brushed. the assembly bolts were each brushed by hand. the fronts are 18x8 iirc and the rears are 18x12. the rear axle was cut to fit the wheels. the reason it doesnt have center caps on was because they wanted custom caps done but they didnt know what image to go with until just last week. more pics to come..

200K?

wow..
great wheels, and great power.. but... 200K??? sheesh
 
Looks great, I love the '69 fastbacks, my favorite body style.
I had a Mach 1 clone and will always regret selling it :nonono:
Are those the 335/30 Nitto DRs?
Any other pics?
Wheels look great as always, you'll probably have an order from me down the road, same sizes.
Ray---I hear you on the $200K, but if you're doing a high end shop to do all the work, I can easily see it.

Ahh.. this I didn't think about. I was assuming it was the shop OWNER'S car. If it is a CUSTOMER of a high-end performance shop, then you've got a huge bill, and I can see it approaching or surpassing that amount easily, as well.

Duhhhhhhhhhh

lol

lol. no, just another customer with $$. i hadnt heard of them till a few months ago when they hit me up for their first set of wheels. apparently their very well known in shelby circles and do some serious high end restomod stuff.

here's their website

oh yeah, going off bad memory here, but my guy there said the engine is a 527(?) which the car's owner also has in his cobra.

Have you ever watched the Barrett-Jackson Car Auctions on Speed network? Original low-build-# cars that have been refurbished to exact specs can get REALLY pricey.

Not to mention if it was my car I'd price it so high that nobody would buy it. If that thing were in my hands, there's no way I'd part with it.

Great work & LOVE the wheels.
