interesting news from kuwait

I don't think it is a secret around these parts that OT-66 was in the works, but it appears they are publicly available now. And our friend has his own web site now. I might have to order 4 pairs of these. First one to order them and post pics wins!

Website? Got a link?

now who is it that was selling the modern aluminum reproductions of the classic optima wheels that these tires fit? My stinger could use a new set of shoes!

It's pargu2000 from ebay, I purchased a set of the aluminum wheels for my Stinger MKII, they are identical to the plastic/chrome plated factory ones. He doesn't them listed as the moment, ask him.

lmgtfy is the best! pargu's wheels look great but cost a lot. Maybe I'll treat myself to some for xmas. Also you can still get the original Turbo Optima style wheels NIP but for the price Pargu isnt too much more. I bought some narrow fronts and tires from the tamkyo guy for a decent price.

I have a friend with a machining rig and he gave me some spare motors and a controller interface, If I find time I'll either set it up as a low budget machining rig or maybe a 3d printer. I could make lots of interesting parts either way.

Those rims are pure magic.

I might have to scoop up a set of those wheels for my Mid SE! Very good price, too. Thanks for the link.

I bought a set for my Slingshot long ago. They are of the utmost quality. I don't think anyone would be disappointed.
