Anymore thoughts on your wheels? How about the OM Simmons? I do like those ones you had photo shopped, they look awesome on the Big Red Camaro if you know the car.

Im thinking  the forgelines  at the moment  nice looking wheel  just need to pick up some overtime to pay for them haha selling  the frs should  offset  the  cost a little but im not sure what id get for them with the one piece versions  now if i could get 3 k id be happy  never been driven  on yet

And on the oms i do like them but biggest  the go is an 18 won’t  clear  my brakes and im really  digging the step dish on the forgelines

I think all those holes might make it look like there is a bit to much going on IMO, and think just a conventional one highly polished would suit much better

Didnt realize  they went that big now but i still prefer  the forgelines  i just like the track car stance they give as opposed  to the oms  more of a show street  wheel  the forgelines  are also a bit lighter simmons have allways  been a heavy wheel but thanks for the link i think ive sold myself  on the forgelines  tho

All good mate, just some suggestions. The Forgelines do look real tough/racy as you say, i reckon a set on the SL/E with silver centres would look good. Interested to see how they look on a commodore. Any idea on when you’ll have them?

Tidy job on the wiring mate. It’s an inspiring build, encouraged me to spend some time in the garage myself this weekend!
