Hey, thanks for posting. I hadn't been on that website before - great pictures there. Scott has one fine car there, incredible amount of time and tweaking went into that car. I would kill for a set of Cosmic rims.
 
I agree - nice car!But is it wise to use
wheels that old on a race car?

Doug, I think you're probably thinking of corrosion issues associated with magnesium wheels. Magnesium wheels are quite susceptible to corrosion, and the corrosion can penetrate deep into castings. This GT6's wheels are aluminum. I don't these wheels have seen enough races for fatigue to be a concern. IMHO age, per se, shouldn't be an issue for aluminum parts.
