Corvette C5 Z06 R GT1

Basically, I pursue a personal middle path between personal ästhetic, functionality, my own ideas, financial possibilities and historical GM original factory racing car Corvette C5-R.

This approach makes complete sense. From what we can see in your photos, the result, so far, is nothing short of spectacular. 

I have to admit, I'm addicted to rims. Vacation time doesn't mean "doing nothing". I've had ideas for a fourth set of rims for a long time. Preferably with a central locking system. Then I'd have 2 with and 2 without CL. I quickly drew a rim myself using CAD to visualize the ideas.

And the parts are ready again. The aluminum parts for the ABS still need to be tested and anodized, then they can be installed.

Rubber bearings are still missing.

This build is insane! I need to go back and catch up!

The old ones had too little angle adjustment and are too weak

 

Kinky

It is only a temporary solution. This is planned in advance and in the future. But there is still time.

The front tie rods and the steering will also be completely different. But there is still time for these plans.

My desired design is finished, now it can be produced. Custom made.

I already have three sets. The fourth set has to be good and put an end to my rim addiction. That way I can test several different types of slicks and rain slicks and always have the full selection with me.

For my taste, I really like all of them, especially set 3. If it were me, I'd radius more in the v on set 1 and in the u of set 4, but I'm drawn to organic shapes. 

How wide are they?

It's always like with varnish... a matter of taste.
 

Set 1 / 2 / 4     = Front 18x11 / Rear 18x13       Pirelli 305/645-18    and  325/705-18   or   Michelin 27/65-18  and  31/71-18

Set 3   = Front 18x12  /  Rear 18x13     Michelin 30/65-18   and   31/71-18

The plan is to have 3 different mixtures of slicks or 2 different mixtures and one set in duplicate. And the 4th set with rain slicks.
 

then I am always ready for action
 

Here are the GT3 wheels used for comparison. So my brakes/ABS and wheels are completely the same.

Those are going to be contact regions, or maybe contact provinces, more than patches.

and already produced, according to my wishes and dimensions
 

2 pieces for ABS pressure only, 2 pieces pressure and temperature for the ECU. Each for a circuit 1/1. And brake light switch analog.

I'm just as happy about this. I'm not far off from the complete Bosch Motorsport M5 Kit1. Everything is new and much cheaper than in the shop. Good relationships help you fulfill your wishes and save money.

Who are you having custom make your wheels to your specs?

  I have a good partner here in Switzerland who buys blanks and makes the rims for me. The offsets I use are not available for Corvettes, for example. There are also only a few 18-inch rims that can accommodate a brake with 390mm discs.
I choose the spoke designs from commercially available rims and sometimes incorporate my own changes/wishes.

Very cool

finished 🥳🤩

 Set of 3 rims for MB AMG GT3 has been sold. I had a customer who absolutely needed several sets for the MB GTR GT3 vehicles. Made a profit at the purchase price. In addition, the effort/conversion to central locking is very expensive. Now new rims are normal. (damn rim addiction)

new:
 

Set 4 with another different design and new color.

In reply to atpallstars21 :

 I misunderstood you. You mean the Ventury effect at the bottom of the Splitter. That makes sense. But there are many ways to reduce the pressure and accelerate the air.

My splitter is a prototype and I can still optimize it after testing.

Completely designed and all details implemented according to my wishes. Set 4 in production.

First preparations for the ABS wheel sensors / ABS gears

DF11s Sensor 
 

I've made a bold decision. I'm going to make a steel insert including a gear at the front that's as light as possible. At the back there will be a gear on the inside of the joint. There will also be 4 universal sensor holders and 2 base plates for the back to attach the sensor holders.

I spent a long time looking for the right parts and the best shop price. Now I'm ready to make the wiring harness myself. With a little work and a long search for parts, I got everything together for half the price of the factory kit. Everything is new and only branded products.
 

Front tie rods as update complete with Unibal

a better switch for the ABS (on/off) with LED and 20A 12V load, material for the 2 main lines to the ABS, connections on the ABS block, an update holder for the steering (right side of the pipe on the steering gear) and the first CNC parts for the ABS sensors... I haven't been able to work for 2 months for health reasons, but I can organize parts.😊😊

I love it when ideas and CAD create such beautiful parts. Everything is then anodized with the other aluminum parts. Red🥳

Beautiful work! Inspiring

Finally. After changing web host, domain transferred, website rebuilt and simplified. I hope the English version is understandable. Have fun.
