Hey Mark, I see that you have 17 inch wheels on your car. Most of the restomods seem to have 18 inch wheels. I have to make my wheel decision soon, so I was wondering why you choose 17 rather than 18?

I like the ride you get with the taller sidewalls I drive my all cars a lot so comfort is a major consideration, I also use much softer spring rates than most restomod builders. The 17s clear the C5 calipers on the current car I'm building.
