Franken Backdate getting close to done
 

Doing an RSRish backdate from a 79 SC and have come to the issue of what wheels to use. I am tempted to go with the Braid 17X9 and 17X11 in RSR finish, but $4K into the money pit is not sitting too well and I do not know much about Braid in general. I will take all feedback and advice.

Minilites? ..or Minilite replicas?

Any pics of car? 4k seems steep for repro. Have you looked into other brands and then just refinishing them to rsr look.

Doing a complete write up when complete, its a long read. This started when I bought someone elses project here two years ago (GaryR) I believe. I cant find 15 or 16 11s anywhere used that are not 5 digits but I may just move to 17X8s and 17X9s euromeister instead to save money.

Ouch. G*d damn.

Other options sound pretty good.

There is a set on the classifieds right now that need a center replaced. I would make an offer.

What about Group 4 wheels? Their Campagnolo reps are very accurate and Camps where used by race teams in period, I've seen pics of ST's running them.
