gotta love those harbor freight moving dollies! They're surprisingly strong! I had an assembled BP engine, trans, and crossmember sitting on one and used it to move the entire assembly under the Exocet chassis. |

My wheels arrived today, with holeshots being on permanent backorder in the right color, I found these, very cool deep concave spoke design. They're a tad on the heavier side at 16.1 lbs each (weighed by me) but super satisfied with the cost. Less then $400/4 on ebay with free shipping. www.ebay.com/itm/371217221856 |

I have a set of the Holeshots for my build but think I may like those STR wheels more than the Holeshots. Good looking wheel.

Kevin at Exomotive told me today that they're finishing up #129 this week so you're looking good to have your frame by mid/late July. I'm jealous of your delivery date and your heated garage.

I can't wait. I'm so excited for this thing. Hopefully I have funds to finish it (v8 odds and ends) by fall. Still about 4k short by my estimate, but I have appropriated all of the important parts already, so I can at least get it put together. |

Nice looking wheels at a good price. I will give them consideration. I am skeptical on the holeshots coming in stock too. It's this or some rota grids.

Those look alot like the MST MT04 wheels I have. The spokes curve back in towards the hub quite a bit, so they are 0 offset. Porky at ~ 16 lbs each, but still should be OK for my intended use.

The spokes are curved WAY in, its hard to capture in a photo. Definitely 0 offset. Very concave. |

Small update: Engine mostly cleaned up, new intake is ported and ready to bolt on, just waiting on new knock sensors to show before I can button the top end up. Also got the tires mounted. Small progress before chassis gets here. Got some swell orange lugnuts too. Next project is painting of subframes/control arms and the bushing replacement. Got my shop press, have to assemble it first. Perhaps tomorrow.   |
