did you already buy them, im sure there is at least 3 or 4 other guys who could have done them far cheaper than that...But if your happy i guess thats what counts....Isnt the wheel adapter going to change your offset by one inch? could of went the 3/5 offset route off the shelf...

Yeah i probably could have gotten them cheaper but i called him on Friday, he made them and sent them out the same day. As for rims i wanted something with a very small offset, the rear end is already to wide. I got the 5 / +2 *i wanted. With the 3 / +5 ten inch rims i already have the rear tires were sticking out WAY past the front tires, the new combo should work out much better. Who other than Jody could have made them, good to keep a mental note of these things. If i'm gonna pay someone to make something i'd rather pay a board member.

Hmm guess I am out.


My brothers car just came in at 11 feet long 92 inch wheel base with 1,600cc
with no radiater water etc I am lighter than most.
And I might actually be starting a car for another member of this site
and it will be around 10 feet long and only like an 85 inch wheel base.
Much smaller but I guess I am still out.


Interesting topic but all that matters to me no matter what you call them
is all the great info on this site.

Thanks.




Oh and for some reason in my mind its all about wheel base.
The minute your wheelbase is 100 inches or bigger your no longer a mini and now atleast a midi etc.
With all the motors etc. there is just to many things. 2 seat, 1 seat, size overall, size of tubeing, size of tires, type of tires and so on etc.
So in my mind I just have this thing with staying under 100 inch wheel base makes you
a mini.
I dont know if its right or wrong or even matters its just the way I think about it.

Thanks.
