      ***New Wheel Line brought to you by DriverzInc.com!***

      We would like to introduce the first in a wheel line we are proud to be apart of, "New Gen Wheels". New Gen Wheels came to me and asked for help achieving their dream. What was that dream? To produce a custom built, forged, billet wheel that could replace the lessor quality cast designs of the past, with the versatility of modern sizing, and finishes, and offer an alternative to the quintessential "pro-touring" wheel designs available today.

      New Gen wheels are two piece construction, rotary forged 6061-t6, and available in step lip and soft lip. Yes, step lip too!

      Finishes include, full polished (shown), brushed, powder coat (titanium, black, gun metal, etc.), and clear coat.

      Step Lip sizes include:
      15x7, 15x8, 15x10, 16x7, 17x7, 17x8, 17x9.5, 18x7,18x8, 18x9.5, 20x8, 20x9.5 (or custom widened widths)

      Soft Lip sizes include:
      17x7, 17x8, 17x10, 18x7, 18x8, 18x9, 18x10, 19x8, 19x10, 20x8.5, 20x10 (or custom widened widths)



      This is the first wheel of five designs. It is called the "Thrasher". This is an 18x12, built to clear 6 piston Baer brakes and are going on a mini tubbed 69 Camaro. Now you can have classic design, modern construction, to fit the most common upgrades being made to your classic muscle car.

      Now for the kicker! Pricing is surprising affordable considering the 3d milling, two piece, billet construction! Call for pricing details! More to come from New Gen wheels as we continue to build new sets, and designs.

      What's the difference in a step lip verses a soft lip?

      What is the backspacing limits on the 17X10 wheel?

      I am curious on price for 2-17x8 & 2-17X10.

      Not bad looking at all. Has a nice blend of classic and modern. Best of luck to those guys. I can only imagine bringing a wheel company into market isn't easy.

      SoftLip is what you see most commonly now where the front wheel lip is completely smooth, and the valve stem is on the backside of the rim. Step lip, or standard lip as some call it, is where the front wheel lip has a step in it, and the valve stem is most commonly found on the front wheel lip. I'll PM you a price on 17".

      ^^^^Nail on the head! I think you guys are going to like what you see coming from us and New Gen. Perfect blend of Classic/modern, which is where I think wheel design and car builds are headed in the near future....

      Got a chance to check these wheels out in person at the shop . Very high quality with that classic muscle car look plus the option for powder coating. Not to mention I could not believe the pricing. Got a good one here Jon! Cheers!

      Definitely a sweet looking wheel. I had the opportunity to see the first wheel design in person and the workmanship is superb considering the affordable pricing. What's also nice is the ability to get a classic looking wheel in custom widths. Jon best of luck with launching the new wheel line!

      Sure will. As you know, the 18x11s will be widened wheels, but we only charge 350ea wheel to do it, unlike other places that charge as much as 450ea. wheel!

      The center caps (pictured) are all smooth dome style.
      They will eventually be engraved with the New Gen Logo:



      Here is the first set that shipped out mounted and balanced:
