    I have a new favorite person on this earth. George at ProFormance, who designed and built these forged 3-piece wheels for my Corvette just for me. They are the only set in the world, and in my opinion, they are the most beautifully crafted wheels I have ever seen. I can't wait to get them on the car now that all my other mods are complete... More pics to follow!

    George is the MAN!!! I use him on a regular basis and he is truly great at what he does. The wheels look awesome. Good luck with them.

    I heard you talking about those at the invitational. Maybe right after you roasted the tires on the Aston? But anyways those are sick!

    George does great work. He did my friends Challenge Rims (PizzaPrince) they look great. I have also seen them make squared/cracked rims look brand new. Also with all the work they do, you can seriously eat off the floors of the shop.

    Oh yeah, the other mods..... well here we go, everything but the catback exhaust was done all at once by Anthony at B&A Motorsports in Mamaroneck. He chose the mods, and the install is flawless:

    1998 Corvette Targa, Torch Red/Black
    20,000 Miles

    Suspension:
    Pfadt 12-way adjustable Competition Coilovers, lowered 2" from stock
    Pfadt Front & Rear Swaybar Kit
    West Coast Corvettes 4-point Chassis/Harness/Roll Bar
    Adjustable Caster/Camber Plates

    Engine:
    Vararam Intake
    Ported & Polished Intake Manifold, Throttle Body, & Heads
    Kooks long tube headers
    Kooks off-road X-pipe (no cats)
    GHL Bullet Exhaust
    Custom Dyno Tune
    Hurst Billet Pro Short Shifter

    Brakes:
    Front - Stoptech 14" slotted, 6 piston caliper
    Rear - Stoptech 12" slotted, 4 piston caliper
    Motul RBF600 High Performance Brake Fluid

    Interior:
    Sparco Evo 2 Plus Race Seats - Black w/ Red Suede inserts by AI Design
    Sparco Race Wheel, black suede
    Sabelt 6-point Harnesses

    Wheels & Tires:
    ProForged 19x9.5 & 20x10 3-piece race wheel, one-off
    Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 275/30 & 295/30

    I don't want to post pictures until the wheels and tires are on the car and I detail it, but it's extremely quick and well balanced, like a brand new car. It actually feels faster and tighter than the last C6 Z06 i drove.

    They were made by George at ProFormance Industries in New Rochelle, NY. Give them a call, amazing craftsmanship, and the sky truly is the limit. (914) 654-1010 A HUGE thanks to George and the boys over there for making the hottest set of wheels ever (IMO). I've gotten a zillion compliments on them.

    Some photos of the wheels on the car. Pardon the lack of both big brakes and a detail, both of those problems are being handled this week ;) Interior shots to follow after detailing as well.

    The car is still at the shop, as I came up with a few last-minute tweaks I wanted to get done to really set it apart.... Patience....

    Hey Matt,

    Thanks for the recommendation. These guys are unbelievable. I had a big dent in the back of my M5 (thanks to my g/f backing into a tree :() and they spent hours trying to get it out knowing that it was probably unlikely. In the end the dent was too deep and caused the paint to crack. Mario & George refused to let me pay for it because it didn't come out perfect after repeatedly insisting on giving them something for their time. Truly stand-up guys.

    Thanks again,
    Greg
