      New Rushforth wheels are HERE!

      18" Super Spokes with a smoked titanium finish and exposed hardware.
      Sizes are 18x8's and 18x10's,tires are 245/40's & 275/40's.

      Drumroll please......






      Front detail:


      Rear detail:


      I could not be more pleased with these wheels and my selection of finish.The quality is off the charts and is very easy to see just by these few simple pictures.
      A big thanks to Jason Rushforth for designing such an awesome wheel and a HUGE shoutout to Jon Henson from www.driverzinc.com for another great buying experience.This is my 2nd set from Driverzinc this year and Jon has made both experiences very painless.His knowledge and fitment advice really takes the guesswork out of what is otherwise a difficult decision.Products,advice,and great pricing is what makes him stand out above the rest and I very highly recommend him to anyone looking for wheel/tire and accessories.



      Thank you both so much...I really appreciate all your hardwork in making me look good!

      Congrats! Damn John, I love that Smoked Titanium..... You know I was thinking for my car the black center w/ Smoked Titanium outer..... I don't know, I'm so confused..... It would be so much easier if Rushforth didn't have so many great wheel choices..... LOL

      Post up some pics as soon as you get them on your car, BTW which car are they going on? Chevelle?

      No Chris,I recently got new Bonspeed Huntington's from Jon for the Chevelle.
      Because of the backspacing on those,they will only fit that car.
      These are intended for the '69 Z/28...let's hope they fit,should be snug.

      Pics will be up on Saturday...

      Hey Chris,I did see that,my "borrowed" Bonspeed's served your purpose well.I do think that the Fuel is your wheel man,no doubt.

      Either one would be a good choice...can't believe you're down to only two choices so soon,lol.

      Most guys will say Rated-X...I like the Fuel's.

      Check this out...

      Another trick Jon had machined into my wheels is having the rear pads shaved a bit for just a little more clearance.Notice the difference is where the rear edges of the spokes meet the edge of the front pads vs the rears and also how much further the centercap is sunk into the fronts vs the rears.Front b/s is 4.875",rear's are a custom-made 5.625"

      Front:


      Rear:


      I tell ya,that Jon Henson is one sharp cookie...

      Sorry guys for the delay...

      Was busy working on my garage all day,here they are all mounted up.
      I will admit,I was nervous about the fitment going w/10" rears since my car is so low but once again...Jon Henson from www.driverzinc.com knew of what he spoke...because they fit like a glove and I could not be more happier with the look or the fitment.

      Here we go...














      Could not be more pleased,2 of my friends and some of my "car" neighbors stopped by and all gave me their approval.I am totally stoked by the look,thanks to Jason Rushforth for all his advice and of course,Jon Henson for making this all possible...once again.
