If only I could afford custom one off wheels!

Gun metal grey with bronze rims? Now that will be a combination to see. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

The brake teaser pics look awesome.
The wheel teaser pic looks awesome.
The stretched tires... [dunno][dunno][dunno][dunno][dunno]


Look forward to more pics of the build.

lol, like I had said before, we know the aggressive fitment and tire stretch will get mixed opinions but we're definitely prepared for whatever kind of love/hate we receive, either is welcomed!

We wont be doing much on the track with this build, its more of a street car so we're just trying to have a little bit of fun even if that means looking a little ridiculous lol.

Either way, we're excited to reveal more of the car in the coming weeks, as of now its close to being complete with only a handful of mods left to finish up next week.

For the most recent updates, follow us on instagram @cinemotivemedia, we try to post something fiesta themed every few days so keep a look out!

These kind of choices will always get mixed opinions because they don't really make a lot of sense. It's great to see a car with a cohesive design philosophy, not so much one with parts just thrown at it for fun. The wheel fitment and tire choice automatically means it can't be driven for performance, and since you've stated that it won't be that makes sense. But then you also have an expensive custom made big brake kit - which is completely useless on a street cruiser. Sure you wanted something pretty behind those fancy wheels, but now the car doesn't really serve a purpose and it is clearly something made just for show and not to be driven or used. Perhaps that is the way of SEMA, but I just feel that any car that has a real definitive goal and is built around acheiving it is going to be more respected and gain more publicity.

The SEMA show is all about the current trends, and a stretched tire combo is a very trendy thing. True performance fans do not like cars which are built solely for a 'look,' but the 'look' is what SEMA show cars are all about. I will be there!

Here's another teaser showing off the fifteen52 front lip! If anyone was wondering, the fitment on this lip is ridiculously precise, and it looks amazing!

SEMA's only a few weeks away, more teaser photos coming!

Most everybody here knows my opinion on wheels and tires as well as building to get looked at or used, some fads just make me sad, some make me mad, some turn my stomach:(

I have always been of a different opinion than most in such matters, back in the muscle car era where lived almost everyone was into them I had VW bugs then Datsun 510's for many years and modded to be faster, still do all my cars and trucks that way.

In 2003 I was building a car for SEMA and CES and it was setup as I always build them but I tore both my knees the same day in my shop and had to abandon the project.

Do you get any word on if this lip is going into production? I haven't been able to find any info. Any chance you'll be using their rear wing extension as well?

Here's another picture of the splitter for those interested.

I think the variety of build styles are what make this so much fun, and why we've been doing it for so long.

At the end of the day we all do it because we love modifying our cars, everyone's got a different vision on whats proper, in our case, we blatantly know our build isnt proper, but thats the point for us.

Funny thing is, we based the widths/offsets on your 15" set up on that thread you made when you first had the slicks on.

I also have two bad knees, so we're in the same club [perfect10]

Glad you could use the info on my wheel install:)

I would just like to see wider tires on your wheels but I do appreciate that you admit it is not best for real use, not many would say so, glad you have.

Later on if you or a new owner wanted to maximize the handling they could just put on wider tires though would have to change the camber in the rear to fit 225's.

My knees are not always bothering me, just to often, both shoulders, neck, back, brain, those are the real issues;)
