Default Large Honecomb Wheels

Just saw these new Intro Wheels on Year one site. I like the look of them.

I saw those, and while at first glance they look interesting, they do appear to not have sufficient depth in the honeycomb areas. As in, the honeycomb is about half the depth of original polycast. This tends to make the entire wheel look almost flat- kind of like it has a full wheel cover on it, rather than being a custom aluminum wheel.
Guess I'll stick with the stock 15-inchers...
Plus- the price is a little steep...

Agree -- they look wrong.

But then, I think the billett 17" Rally IIs that someone is doing look wrong, too -- the proportions of the design elements aren't faithful to the original.

That Brewster 73' that the example is on was just purchased by the YO owner last fall. I think it was found in Nevada.

It is a L-75 455 car. Very nice car. Auto- Air car.

Cool idea though for the new Super Bandits.
