I agree but I think this build might have went a little to radical for me...but we will see real soon!!!

Next question comes down to wheel selection...the next facet where they can ruin it further. When I walk around their section outside SEMA I always have a set of mixed feelings. Some cars are outstanding, some are horrid. Between them and Giovanna, they can help or kill a car. I personally think they lean too much to the ghetto side versus the performance/exotic side.
When we built our car in 2010, I was in talks with Forgiato, but I didn't like the direction they wanted to go with it, so I went to Rennen International and was in their booth instead. They did a nice 1 piece monoblock concave wheel...turned out really nice. Much better than some multipiece 30 pound rim that doesn't belong on a supercar.
