My son comes home the first wk, of June...he does all the photo posts for me...I have no Idea how to navigate through that process...the very few I've ever posted...he has done...I've been working with Biz @ Triumph wheels...Not a fan of the170's wheels..he's built wheels for my HC..and my 18 Demon...(amazing wheels)...the Sinn stick needs the bling of "Gatsbys" wheels..not sure just yet this is gonna end up...but Biz is the man

 

[Unholy707]

Yep, they’re the best for custom 3 piece wheels. I like the 170 wheels

Maybe because I'm just used to custom wheels on my cats..just not a huge fan of the stock ones...he's come up with 3 possibilities that I like..its just deciding which will look best....

What size and what size tires?

What size and what size tires?

We've been goin back and forth on that..the car will never see the track ( I know what a waste huh )...so the look and stance is what I'm after...function for now will be secondary...to be honest I cant even tell you what's on my other 2 cats..(sizes that is)..I just know nitto DR out back and nitto streets on the front...on both cars..

You're going to love the Sinamon Stick especially in the sun. I've always been partial to the orange/rust colors and I couldn't have chosen a better color for my Hellcat.

I'm gonna use the SRT filter on mine.

I log oil pressure.

Good to know sir, that is what I use too and as you know I run the shit out of mine on the courses. Maintains the pressure (excessive lateral forces) and it has not developed problems internally (knocking on wood).

He did 12” wide X 4 wheels for the WBRE. ON the 170, you guys may need an 11” up front. I personally am moving towards the thought that these like a non-stagger or close to non-staggered sizes of tires. That being said for the street (like MY street set-up) the 325f 345r can’t look better and works just fine. 325’s like 11” wides. That is what my “mag” looking pictures use on the street FYI. For handling, using my 12”x4 Triumph set I have a new set of 335 rears to go with my 325 fronts that I will be trying at the track in June to evaluate my thought on this.

I don't think you can fit 11" on the front of a NB/170.

I'm working on a street setup for mine. I wanna stick with the spirit of the factory look but with a bit of a street twist to it. Front tires were no problem but rears I had to get creative to prevent too much gap.

I find it mildly entertaining that everyone is upset that STL fired all of their engineers… the same ones that designed the car that’s blowing up and shipping with too much oil. Maybe there is a reason the ones that are gone are gone and the ones putting out the fires are still there?
Those same engineers made the Hornet, don’t forget.

I tend to separate engineering and assembly roles though. I can engineer a well thought out and reliable product. If it's not assembled properly that all goes out the window.

Almost feels like these have been a "welp, last ones and we're all furloughed for 2 years so screw it".

Cost cutting
Many of these jobs are gone forever
Or
Replaced by staff at a much lower cost countries
I deal with it daily


If you are involved in the auto industry in Canada & the USA you can see some of the things happening a bit earlier then the general population
Many issues at Windsor Assembly
The new Battery plant in Windsor
The new Battery plant in St Thomas
The new Honda plant in Alliston
40 billion dollars
All within 3 hours of each other

A lot of Asian influence

100K jobs will be lost in 5 years do to EV & you will barely hear a word
These 100K jobs will be replaced with 50K EV jobs & the news will be non stop about the hiring

Its started

Save your pennies
