Those are actually LeGrand wheels. He cast wheels for his cars. The fronts are 13x7s, the rears are 13x9.5. I also have a pair of 13x11s that were used on his stillborn B Sports Racer/Can Am project (only 2 cars were completed, I think). He also cast some 13x5.5 wheels for his Formula Fords. They're all magnesium.

Since our car didn't come with the original wheels, and I really wanted the originals, I bought these from board member Gonzo BMod. They're hard to find, but Joe helped us out greatly on the set.

However, since I've got the wider, lighter and stronger Keizers, I'll be using the original wheels for my rains.

Holy schnikey - Our cars match.

Since mine was first, I'll just assume you did it in reverence to me.
