I’ll be putting all of these items up here as we go along in the build. Just a little tease from time to time as it progresses. Today? The base set of wheels for the project. Braids are incredible. I used them on my prior race vehicle and they were stunningly strong taking hits that wrecked the vehicle on two occasions and broke the suspension a couple more…all without a failure to a wheel. They are also super light and gorgeous to boot. They really are “The Last Wheels You’ll Ever Need” https://braidusa.com/
Here we went with the Braid Fullrace-T Acropolis in a dark grey. Why the dark grey? Well, its to mimic the original race vehicle my new build will be a tribute to. It looks fantastic and I can’t wait to get some appropriate rubber on them. Eventually I’d like two more to provide some matching spares but this will do for now and maybe the existing wheels can serve in the interim as spares. We’ll see…
