Been sitting on the masters for a minute decided to pop them out in vacuformed styrene.

did very well with 26s but some of the 1:1 companies wanted a smaller wheel so i went 18" Flush fit 2 piece wheel with multioffset barrels doing the same with the 20" line

Someone told me it had something to do with the way house doors were opened but i wasnt buying that.

wheels were pretty ugly swapped some offsets on them and sold them off

No, not because some of us don't like the look, but because 1) jacking a car way up raises its center of gravity and makes it lean horribly in turns 2) bolting on huge amounts of unsprung weight pretty well defeats the purpose of suspension, makes a car ride like a buckboard, and makes it unstable over any kind of irregular pavement and 3) the huge rotational mass of these oh-so-tall wheels makes acceleration sluggish, and makes the brakes have to work a lot harder to stop the thing.
These are big-boy concepts that come under the general heading of physics, and are very important aspects of vehicle dynamics.
In short, going for the donk "look" takes vehicles that were hardly brilliant from a handling and braking standpoint to start with, and makes them cartoonish evil-handling junk.
Modifications as shown below take a car that handled well originally, and make it better...not worse, WAY worse. Kinda the whole idea of the pro-touring thing, you know?
You know the chevelle is on air rides right? That being said suspension that isnt actually connected to the car is just as bad and a failure on the road will end very badly, like i said your out of date with donks most have performance suspensions and brakes.

so one deserves to banned over the other because you dont like the look, you using that impala picture shows how out of date you are
this is what Traditional Donks are now, lifts are a nono.

Use a modified air eraser that can shoot baking soda.

Sorry guys. Resin casting these is the only way to make them affordable and no aftermarket casters have shown any interest at all in picking them up. I did the aftermarket parts dance for 15 years with MAS. I got VERY burnt out and don't want to get back into that routine. If ANY casters are interested in doing these holler. I will give you a deal on the masters!

Bummer was looking forward to them, the market for wheels gets flaky under 22" which is why wont go under 20" for muscle cars.

Not really i learned to just make 5xs worth of mold to get a decent yield per run out of the 18 hour curing

This one could be done from that uptown series Charger, probably be an improvement on it too.
too much retooling this charger was shortened
