haha, yeah, I can see that... the truth is that money doesn't grow on trees and before you build anything, you have to have parts. I can post pictures of all of the work spent sanding and wiring but that's not really interesting.

Once we have all of the right parts come in, there will be some cool updates. In the meantime, thanks for looking.

this is gonna be siiiiiick. i really liked those TEs though.

gbaby2089 · 02-26-2014, 12:14 PM

TE's were the much better choice. Heavier Meisters are just going to place extra stress on components....oh, and not look as cool.

DRFT180 · 02-26-2014, 12:55 PM

Who talks down 12" wide Meisters? ^ This guy

Either wheels, looks like this is going in a great direction. Glad to see something else coming out of Louisiana.

Bring it out to some events

I agree, the TE's are great looking wheels. The fronts were too narrow and wouldn't allow us to run the brake setup that we want. Not to mention the inside rim was rubbing the damper tube.

In any case, the Meisters will fit the car and tire setup better and will do so without requiring a set of huge wheel spacers.

DRFT180, we will out with the car when it's complete. Hopefully it will be done this year. We are now sourcing parts for the new engine/drivetrain setup. I'll also mention that this isn't going to be a dedicated drift car... it will certainly be more of a street oriented build, complete with AC and power steering...ect.

Thanks for looking,

David

Had some time this weekend to test fit these wheels and over fenders...

I'm really impressed with the quality of the Chargespeed over fender. It fit really, really well. We are getting closer and closer to the body shop.

Thanks for looking.
