    These most definitively belong in this thread, I only hope one day my A1 will be graced with these wheels.
    it's not a photoshop, I checked the pixels.

    /\ Cool. Love the Scirocco centres. Seen someone do that with Pirelli P wheels once too.

    Why those are rather beautiful. Any pics of that wheel on a car?
    Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. A normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

    These centers are actually machined from 6061 forgings

    Cool. Looks like the same the design. Nice twist on some classics either way.

    P-Slot themed split rims:


    Brad, how about something based on the ATS Classic? Would look great on earlier cars.

    that was straight cut gear whine from the transmission, not the supercharger (pretty sure)

    Good point. I always thought it was from the supercharger. It would make sense that it sounds differently from the other two Lancias because Bruno's always trying things out on his car. The red one belongs to him too but he rents it; the white one w/o the Martini Racing stripes is his "baby". I'm gonna ask him next year at the Eschdorf Hill Race.

    To stay in theme with Lancia:

    The S4'splanned successor, the Lancia ECV1, is alive and well. Don't expect too much, the S4 was way louder and in some ways looked more aggressive; and as this is the only ECV1 they are holding back a bit. Anyways, it's nice to see it move under its own power 25 years later.
