Latest Upgrades: VTO Wheels & Wilwood Calipers

[BobbyD]

About 4 months ago I started making fender blankets and sold enough to fund my next major purchase...... VTO LeMans wheels and Wilwood calipers. I just posted both projects to my web site:

What was cool about the VTO wheels is that I made an Interior Panel Set for Barry Knickerbocker who turns out to be the owner of VTO Wheels!

Nice upgrades, with the rear 240Z finned hubs, your stopping power should be as good as you are going to get.

Wayne....... the rear wheel cylinders determine which size pistons you get up front. I've got the Sunbeam/Morgan rears so the calipers have the larger pistons.

The VTO Lemans looks great on the TR6.

Very nice Bobby! I met Barry at the Mitty a few weeks ago - he also had one of those new Silverstone wheels that have just cropped up. I'm hoping he pursues a joint venture with the guy making them, or makes the design himself as a VTO brand. Couldn't convince him to make 5.5" width either though.

Edit: browsed your Wilwood install - excellent documentation. I have the same Turkey baster in my toolbox!

Bobby, just curious....what tire pressure are you running in yours? I'm at 30F/28R with my 205/60/16's.

Bob I guess I'm a bit behind, I like the idea of the fender blankets. Neat idea.

You can see more about the Fender Blankets on my site and I'll be bringing a few with me to Brits by the Sea on June 3rd.
