Don't really know what to say.... Big Ups to AutoFashion (Hell of a group of nice guys.. Thanks Freddie!) for coming through... Group A Wheels in Chandler AZ.. Good guys, that do more than just sell wheels and tires... Many thanks to the countless others who helped me get this far!! If all goes well, paint and install will start next week.....

Your Avatar is slowing but surely becoming "reality". Looking forward in following this build!

Little side note, what brand of tires are those? Interesting thread pattern.

The tires are:
Vredestein ULTRAC SESSANTA

Here's 20 or so pages of review from the Corvette forums:

Here's a link to them on the vredestein site:

Home of the great guys that sold these to me..... "West Coast" of course.....

Happy hunting... I know they stretch pretty well, but have not driven on them yet, so I can't give my own opinion... a few guys I know swear by them so I thought I would give them a try... Believe a few guys here have driven on them already, maybe someone will chime in.....

am i missing something or is that your build thread? thats mounting tires and a kit on a couch. nothing is being built....... i'm sorry but why not just wait till you actually get stuff together? cool rims.

**lowvanu2** · 07-31-2009, 03:54 PM

Wow! with 2 posts don't be so critical... I have been here since the start of '06, sitting on and collecting parts, which none of are very cheap, and some worth more than the platform itself (I know I know, why?, because it "to me" is a work of art, as is each persons car on this site). If you take a look, just this week, after 31/2 yrs, I have just made a build thread... I would not have if I did not intend for things to move pretty fast.... Thanks, I Love these wheels... took forever to make the final decision on them...

**normandie** · 07-31-2009, 04:10 PM

Can't wait to see more pics of the build. Congrats on finally landing the kit & wheels you want.

**MR.J** · 07-31-2009, 07:07 PM

**lowvanu2** · 07-31-2009, 08:09 PM

Once again, Big Ups to Freddie and his Crew over at AutoFashion.....

**NYC03Alti** · 08-01-2009, 04:11 PM

i think you missed the fact that this is his build thread. as in, when he progress he updates the thread. this thread is TWO DAYS OLD. might wanna be a little more patient. a build thread is not something you post everything all at once, thats a story thread (a story of a completed car). have more patience, im sure it will all come together.

How'd a VIP-in-training get past VIP 101???

**GEE702** · 08-02-2009, 02:59 AM

nice wheels bro I had those tires on my old ls400 very quiet you gonna like them

**sukoshiyoshi** · 08-02-2009, 12:21 PM

Never heard that brand of tire before, from the sounds of the other forums they sound to be some good rubber. Please definately post your experience with these rubbers. Very interested.

Are you going for the "exact" same look as your Avatar?

Sukoshiyoshi

**lowvanu2** · 08-02-2009, 02:24 PM

Yeah, pretty much going for the same look, I photoshopped the Garsons and the tail lights onto the Ody in the picture... I also have the Garson grill and midwing, and an Anceltion bonnet spoiler... I have the tail lights pictured, but am looking to get a different set... and am working on crytalizing my headlights... I have already started collecting interior pieces, but have not gotten around to the main part, which are the seats... I'm going to post pics of everything here in a couple days right before I go to paint and install... the Ody just came back from my mechanic, had him do all the seals water pump pulleys tensioner timing belt.... blah blah blah.... Here's one pic for the time being...

**uprising** · 08-02-2009, 04:03 PM

very nice!! i like your choice of products! cant wait to see whats next!
