The "stock" wheel is an 18" replication of the original Halibrand. It is in keeping with the flavor of the original car. Peter Brock, who designed both cars (and if anyone has the "right" to change the look, it is Peter) changed the wheels to a BRE wheel. Peter's car is dark red with no stripes and a split white/red rear cove with his racing number "73." Peter also changed from the double side pipes to a single stainless side pipe. His car looks really nice but I personally like the more traditional look. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all of the coupes are beautiful, some just a bit more than others.
