Wow!

Car looks absolutely incredible Keith.

I'm in the black wheel camp. Forgestar CF10's in matte or gloss black would look awesome.

Have a blast at Sebring. Very interested to get more feedback on the brakes.

Well done Keith!!
I think the brakes are going to be significant!

Your build is like watching a TV series, with cliffhangers too! I don't want this show to end. :-(
The series "might" not be over yet.

I will keep these wheels just the way they are. I will probably make my track set black. These are too good just like they are.

If anyone is interested I have six Forgestar F14 wheels for sale.

Four are the same - 18 x 11" Forgestar F14 with a +33 offset. Will fit a widebody conversion.
Two are gloss black and two are satin black. $200 each for any of them.

Two 19 x 12" with a +36 offset. Used to fit the widebody until the brake conversion with the 1-1/2" longer rear axles and now none of them fit.

https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-ti...x-12-wide.html

$200 each.

I'll be at Sebring Feb 23/24th with the SunCoast PCA. Should be an interesting weekend. Porsches usually don't like the group I run with.

Do you all know anything about Rennen Wheels. I am seriously considering their new RL-55 series in gloss black. I think they have the aggressiveness I'm looking for. What do you think?

I looked at them also. Not as light as one would think. Not sure they are worth the $$$ for a 2# or 3# savings. I believe the HRE carbon fiber wheels are just as light but less $$.
Hope to see you at Sebring!!

I thought the front Mercedes wheels are 21#
The CF 19x9 are 16#
I'm guessing total 12 to 15 pounds save
$1000 per pound save
I guess not very cost effective

Congrats on this full BS conversion Keith!!
For sure you need black wheels it will match better the color and details of your car. Plus the actual size of the rear makes your wheel look too small in comparison to the front. With all 4 wheels in black this feeling will disappear.
I know... it's only cosmetic and has nothing to do with performance

Not only is the car astonishing, the tow rig looks pretty sweet as well! Any pix of the inside of the trailer?

Huge congrats. I don't know of anything else remotely like what you've done, as you've executed your mods in a way that is up to the highest possible standards. Please let us know how you like the brakes on track. I probably shouldn't ask, as it will end up costing me money -- but I suspect they are going to be GREAT!

I run rennen m10 for my summers. Solid wheel and am happy with them. Their new series are pretty amazing!



my biggest gripe with them is that they are more private with their offsets.. you need to pry to get that info apparently

I still have 2 "new in the box" satin black fronts 18x8.5 to match your rears that I will sell for the same price if you find someone who wants a complete set for $800.

Congrats on being mobile again. Now it is time to enjoy your hard work.

Excellent job as usual on this very unique and exceptional build. Leveraging the build on OEM parts is genius!
