I ordered my Rushforth Livewires today from Paradise road rod and customs.I ordered them in full Titanium with chrome hardware2-18x8 & 2-18x10 for a seafrost green 68 Malibu.I haven't even gotten the car yet but am arranging shipment details right now.The car was listed on TeamChevelle.com and from the pics I've recieved seems to be a great car.I plan on adding KORE3 front disc brakes and maybe a S-10 rear conversion.I am trying to decide which drop springs to use right now.In the past I have used Eibach and the worked out great.I want to eventually upgrade to a sc&c front suspension so I don't want to use anything that won't work later.Anyways I'll post pics as I recieve the wheels and tires and get them installed on the car.I'm very excited about these wheels,as I can already see the wheels in my head.

just make sure paradise knows your plans for the c5 brakes. they have more caliper offset than the stock chevelle brakes, and that might require some spoke offset while keeping the backspacing the same.
congrats on the purchase of the car, and it will look sick with those rushforths!!!!!

I informed them that I was going to use the KORE3 brakes but thanks for the heads up and also thanks for the compliment.Here is a pic from the Team Chevelle website.

Don't think this is the first time I've drooled over these pics!!Your's are part of the reason I chose this finish along with the easy upkeep.

Good choice. I'm leaning same finish choices also. Wheel still undecided though. I was leaning Livewire, but I also like the Rated X, Superspoke, and Whiplash too in that finish lol.
The SC&C front suspension might affect your optimum backspace, as you'll get more negative camber gain, providing more fender clearance, allowing use of less wheel backspace. I don't know jack about a Malibu's wheel requirements though, so it maybe it isn't anything to worry about.

Thank you Jason for offering such great looking wheels,and thanks for the complements on the car.I will send pics as soon as I get them on the car.I think thetitanium powdercoat will complement the color great and I think they will be easy to maintain,as I plan on driving the car to all of the shows I attend.
