68-72 Chevelle's with Rushforths Please post PIcs

[70chevelle406]

I'm going to be purchasing some Rushforth's for my 70 Chevelle here in the next couple of weeks and need some more pictures to kinda settle my mind. I am leaning towards the Livewires, but I am not quite sure yet!

Here is what I am working with!

I think the gun metal grey Livewires would look killer on your Chevelle!!

[jilge71]

lol...damn you guys beat me to it... ^ ....you will not be disappointed in rushforths. the quality is unreal!

[jilge71]

black centers with a polished lip would look awesome too!...man i love chevelles

Thanks everyone! For talking up the brand, wanting to run our wheels and for all the kind words! Let us know when you are ready to order or if you have any questions anytime.

Here's one of the most recent Chevelles running the brand. He's running Concept Is but it gives you a good look at how 19s fit front and rear.

Not to hijack the thread as I have an A-Body too and I have been searching around everywhere. I own a 68 GTO I would LOVE input on rims for my car on the multimedia thread https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58000 I had a 70 Chevelle myself before and frankly I liked that car a lot! Anyhow, keep posting rim pics on these, I need to find the right one that can handle big tires, look great with my black car, not show too much brakes as my brakes are near stock and I am not changing them and yet not over 18" and not less than a 35 series tire and I can only run DR's.

Thanks Jason,
I have already spoke to Jon and Driverz INC and I plan on stopping by the shop Mon or Tues with the Velle. I plan on doing a 20/19 combo much like the 68 GTO with the Whiplashes! Hopefully I can get in on that 10 or 15% discount you guys are offering!

One question I had for you though was what is the difference in wheels between your Livewire and Forgeline's SP3P? The Forgeline was my original pick but having to justify the price to the wife was almost impossible! I have looked at both wheels very closely and I can't tell! Would you be able to post a picture of the Livewire in a Matte Black Finish with a brushed hoop? And also maybe one of a Charcoal finish as well!

At last I have sold the Torque Thrust II's that were on my car! Here goes my deposit for those Rushforth's I wanted! "Take that WIFE!!!!" lol

[70chevelle406]

OK so heres what I got, I found a gloss black Livewire, and I need a Matte Black with brushed Hoop! Also I found a photo shop of a 70 w/ Liveswires! Maybe someone can photoshop my car with these wheels! Or just change the colors of the below picture!

Thanks in advance

DAMN!!! It's like any model of RUSHFORTH's you put on a Chevelle, it looks kick ass!:cheers:

[jilge71]

yeah i dont know if you guys know or not but us chevelle guys are kinda a big deal!

[muthstryker]

that blue chevelle is baaad a$$! damn!

If I were you I would do the live wires with the brushed and cleared centers. Thats the finish I have on my superspokes and its awsome. I think it would look good against your paint.

[69496]

There are a couple A-bodies floating around with whiplash's and they look as good as anything I have seen. Obviously they are not a wheel a traditionalist would like but if you wanted something differant you can't go wrong with the whiplash

So I took advantage of the sale. My wife and I went down to Driverz Inc in Corona and had a talk with Jon. This is what we came to. 19x8 front w/ 5" backspace and 20x10 Rear w/5.75 backspace. All stock suspension w/ Eichbach lowering springs. Rushforth Whiplash in brushed center, and Polished lip. The rear lip 4" wide and the front is 3". Some teaser shots!

[70chevelle406]

Thanks guys. Nope I can't. I have one of these pics as my wallpaper and I look at it all the time.

I had planned on putting my 18" smoked titanium Superspokes from my '69 Z/28 on my Chevelle to take some pics but stuff has gotten in the way...I'll try to do it this wknd if I can pull myself away from all the Monterey Historic activity...:yum:

[BMF Machine]

:)DanG! That will look KilleR! PosT up the wrapped and mounteD shots as soon as ya take'em!

[muthstryker]

Cool! nice choice on the finish as well ;) I knew it would be a good one to choose

[70chevelle406]

I have actually changed the finish. Its going to be Smoked Titanium Center and Brushed hoops.

Brushed hoops and all that chrome...you sure on that?

[tones2SS]

I agree with John. Leave the smoked centers with chrome outers!! Should compliment your bumpers and trim very nicely.

Im going to have the bumpers painted the color of the car! to dull out all the chrome!

Yup,
I suggested the same thing. Keeping the polished hoops with the chrome bumpers, and then he went and decided to paint his bumpers, which of course changes the whole look all together.

I figured you had a hand in orchestrating this Jon...I knew you'd steer him in the right direction.

[g6t6o]

Those are going to look great!

Gaaa, this pic made me add another wheel to the list.

[USAZR1]

I'm looking at a pair of the polished rim/smoked titanium spoke Livewires in a 18x10 size. Can anyone post a photo of those?
Thanks,

Here's a Chevelle running that very size and finish but don't agonize over photos too much because if you like the wheel and the finish, you'll love it on your car.

And while they aren't 18s, Mark's Camaro looks incredible with 19 and 20" Livewires in Smoked Titanium
