Rushforth Wheels are here - Strutters with Titanium Centers *PICS*

[1969CamaroRS]

I really wanted to thank Jon Driverzinc for getting me my Rushforth Strutters, hidden hardware, polished lip and their now famous Titanium powder coat over a brushed center:

He even worked with me right up when he left for Sema, really top notch service.

Tires are Michelin PS/2 245/45/17 with on a 17x8 rim with 5" bs front and 335/35/17 on a 17x12 rim with 8.25" bs rear (stock width rear end with mini-tubs). The rear tires are hard to judge from these pictures but are just massive :woot::

But because of the stock dish they don't really pop out at you immediately, especially with as low as the car sits. Very very happy with the wheels the quality, fit and finish is just amazing.

I can weight them with the tires, I received them mounted and balanced, so I couldn't separately.

I'm glad you suggested that I take a look at them in person, made the choice way easier :cheers:

[Bad94]

WOW, the colors look great.

The rears dont look like a 12" at all from the side.

Jay R is the man on wheels! I get all stoked up every time I see them. They always look like they were made for that car...... No matter what car they are on!:worship:

[BMF Machine]

Day'um double posts! Edit! Oh well, I guess it should be said twice, Keep it up Jay! Killer work!

[JayR]

Thanks for posting the pics, Ed and thanks everyone else for all the compliments to us and Ed! We really appreciate all the support and like I said at the P-T banquet last week in Vegas; We wouldn't be here without all the friends, clients, and support from the forums. It really means a ton to us and we plan to continue to build the brand next year just as hard!

Thanks everyone! And keep posting those Rushforth pics!

And BTW, If you're liking the wheels, MuscleRodz is running a GP right now! https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49701

could you go with a deeper rear dish (less backspace) with a stock width rear end?

[4086D9]

You should be able to get away with a 7.75" bs.

Bob, His rearend is stock width so his dish is what it would be on a 10 but he's mini-tubbed which allows him to run the additional width which is all inboard.

[DriverzInc]

Correct! I basically took what I would build for a stock camaro in front space, and added the extra width of wheel to the back of the car. Easy math really....

Ed, the car looks like its coming along nicely, and I am just happy to be working with you, and to be a part of your project. Thanks for posting up the photos, and for the compliments. Your car is looking great!
