My Countach and Porsche with new shoes!
My Aluma-Tech aluminum wheels have shown up today and they are fabulous! My only concern is with the Countach's front wheels. They did not come with the proper bump on the inside that helps lock them into place when installed. I have e-mailed the company to see if they can make me a new batch with the proper bump. The rears are perfect and so for now I'm very satisfied.
It's a good thing I don't have a way to drive these cause I'm sure the fronts will be an issue when driving it. So for now, these will do as display units.
Enjoy the pictures!

Here is the back of the wheels showing the missing bump.

And the Porsche with it's new shoes.

Despite the minor flaw with the front's, I'm very happy with the results. I hope they will make me a more drivable set soon! At either case, at least the Countach look's the way it should!

they do look nice

much better than the stock racing wheels.

Thank you arch! The Countach and Murcielago are now my two favorite ones. Both look hot together with their custom alloy's!
I'm not sure I like the Porsche as much as I did with the original white wheels I had on it. But at least now each car has it's own personality.

Yeah the wheels look bad ACE, man. Do they hold tight enough to race? I can't wait until Miles can get the new models up on the website!

Heres my silver R8

Need a spoiler and that "body kit" to complete that look:

or the Le Mans version

MrNanoTrax · #**114** 10-06-2009, 11:16 AM

audi looks sweet... the GT version of the Gallardo and R8 look the best imo and for that reason, i think the body kits for dnano need spoilers. they look naked without them

Thank's guys. The Countach's 17's were too small for them to mill the nub in place, but it does seem snug enough on that center hole. As for drivability, I'll need a starter kit to find out. I'm going to guess I'll have to put on the stock fronts to drive it, but we'll see how it performs.
That Audi is sweet! I prefer the street version over the GT version in this case.

Sorry Countach lovers, I just learned that these wheels were one-off job's. While Aluma-Tech will certainly introduce 17's into the market, these wheels won't be done again.

pfcparts · #**117** 10-06-2009, 09:38 PM

Not bad.

You probably could have fit 18Fs.

A dab of CA glue could probably hold them in place.

If they introduce 17s without the nubs to hold them
in place, that might hurt their sales...

The stars look a little off, like they'd belong on an
old school muscle car.

Not a fan of the R8 but that lemans GT is sick.

parts

Marcro · #**118** 10-06-2009, 10:51 PM

Thank's parts but I don't want to risk goofing it up with CA. As I said, I'll let you know how it performs. Seems to be on pretty good.

As for the stars, they remind me of the older more classic Porsche wheels.

Some pictures of the option parts installed.
I've installed the disc-damper on my Murcielago, and installed aluminum parts on the Countach.
Next upgrades will be complete package for the Porsche, and ball bearings, springs, and H-plates for the Countach. I might add a gyro on the Porsche, but not the Countach.

Only downside of the disc-damper is it does not fit directly under some bodies. Had to drill a hole in the Murcielago for the top post of the damper.
The Murcielago is now rock solid full on racer! Just wish I had a track to race on!

Hole should be a little bigger to allow more movement of the system.

And now, pic's of the Countach's chassis. Not much change here, just the aluminum steering plates up front and the aluminum hub's in the rear.

I would have gotten the bearings for these cars, but the shop where I purchased the parts from didn't have any in stock, so those will wait till next week. I plan on doing the Porsche full tilt.
