WOOT!WOOT!!! My Rushforths are here!!
UPS boys just dropped off my Concept II wheels...opened one box with the 19X10 wheel....friggin fantastic!! Absolutely perfect!!!
Frankly, I'm blown away by the quality and the detail that went into these wheels. Just beautiful. Stoked, stoked, STOKED!!
We had a slight problem with the clear powder coat on these wheels. Neither Jason or Jon were willing to ship them out to me until it was corrected. These guys went the extra mile, ( and another set of wheels) along with another powdercoater, to make sure they were perfect. To that end they more than succeeded!
If anyone is seriously thinking about buying a new set of wheels, there is no one better out there that offers the style, quality, and dedication to their product than Jason or Jon. You owe it to yourself to give them a call!

Glad you finally cleared the hurdle and got them in your hands John,I bet it was well worth the wait.Sorry you had to deal with the issues but perfection was what they were striving for and well..."almost good" wasn't gonna cut it.
You've been more than patient and I'm glad you're satisfied.
Great to see you took delivery today...on a holiday no less...but where are the

I'm tempted to put them on the car right now and check for fitment, but I'd rather wait until I have the car completely restored before I shoot a few pix. Engine and trans are already out, and I'm just starting into the interior, so the stance would definitely be off!
Jon, thanks for showing me the "proper" way to insert the pix in a post, and thanks once again for all your help!

Tried to take a couple of shots outside but it started to rain. Had to settle for a few shots in my crowded garage. Not very familiar with posting pix, will need to tutor myself in how to imbed pix directly into the thread. Here's the links:

Those look awesome John
,I'll assume you're happy with the end results?
I'm liking the Concept II's more and more each time I see them and without a doubt,they are unique so when you pull up to a show,you'll pretty much standout...which is always a plus.
They look wide,what size are they again?
Motown 454,
I'm in the same boat you are,I've got just slightly under a 2 week wait myself,should be here on the 18th...can't wait!'67 Buick Skylark GS400 funny car "Ingenue" 8/10 HRM / Gasoline (Swedish) cover & feature 2/12

Sorry for the delay guys, hope you like the pix! If the weather improves I'll try to get some better shots with better lighting.
Thanks John, glad you liked them. Jason and Jon did a great job on the finish!
The pix show the 19X10 wheel, 5.75" backspace. My fronts are 18X8, 4.75" backspace I believe.
I wanted to stay with a five spoke design, since the Z originally had them, but I wanted something that kept the simplicity of a five spoke with design details that no other designer / manufacturer had. THe Concept !! were just what I wanted. I decided to go with the polished / clearcoated wheel due to a bright white that will used as the body color on the Z. Stripes will be painted on in tutone blue to match the interior and the original GM layout. This way, the wheels will not be overwhelmed or look out of place with the final paint scheme. If I was using a different color ( darker) I would have seriously looked at anthracite, titanium, or gun metal center spoke finnishes.

Are these going on a '69 Z/28?
If so,Jon probably recommended 4.875" front b/s...just guessing.'67 Buick Skylark GS400 funny car "Ingenue" 8/10 HRM / Gasoline (Swedish) cover & feature 2/12
