Gary, the owner of a white SS had a rep from Air Lift taking his car out on the track for him. I'm guessing the 295 tires were WAAAAY too narrow for the 11" wheel and during a turn the bead broke and the wheel popped out of the tire and ground on the ground. This wheel is all but destroyed. Bismarck from USW is going to have a hell of a time fixing it and even fixed, I don't know if this will ever be 100% like new again.

It is a testament, however, of the strength and quality of the monoblocks USW puts out. They may be expensive, but imagine what a cast wheel might have turned out like after this.

Warning, this isn't for the faint of heart...

The gooood times lol Gary...Gary...Gary....

Wow! what a show...truly had a blast. Congrats to the entire C5 Staff for putting together a great show lots going on, great weather, great rides, great location and great people

Btw Mr. Mindz I'm sorry pal, I was going to talk Gary into giving up his wheels so that you would have the only set of Monoblocks done by USW but instead we fixed it Got the wheel on Monday and stripped it, fixed it and re-powder coated all in only 3days didn't want you to feel all alone is this wheel world Wheel on the way back to get the tire mounted.

Again, thanks to the entire C5 staff for allowing us to be part of your show you guys rock!!!

I was drawn to a very special white one. My award went to Phillyboy of California. The raised white lettering caught my interest as it was very unique and then with the amount of bling under the hood and attention to detail for all the mods he did, he deserved the award. He even painted the middle of his brake rotor so that the wheels would stand out more. That and all his chrome/stainless parts were white glove spotless!

Well done Phillyboy!

Mindz Thank you. I try my best to keep it that clean all the time. Thank you again.

Most didn't turn out well so I only kept a few shots.

Revo's Red Monster, Pumpkin driven by Mercury Man, and an unknown ABM beauty made the shots that I took as I spent most of my time getting ready for my group and lining up after the first group went. I did get a few of Jeff Bucknum taking Revo's Fiancee for a spin, but those are posted in his build thread (REVO1).

Cool my ABM is in your shots awesome
