Rushforth Newly Finished Wheel *PICS*

**DriverzInc** · 08-15-2008

Here is a wheel that we finished today that I just had to post a picture of for you guys. I know we are constantly asked to show wheels in different finishes, and this one came out SWEET. The design is the Whiplash, and the finish is Smoked Titanium Center, and Brushed with Clear outer. Enjoy!

These are 19x12's going on a Pro-T Nova.

That looks awesome!!! I was actually thinking about this combination,Home run again!!!!

**NvrDun71** · 08-16-2008

If you guys offered a 9" hoop in a 17" diameter I would run this finish on a set of fuels for my Nova

friggin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not many 17x9's out there in the way of outer hoops, other than standard lip which we just don't do. Sorry man, we wish we could have helped you there.

Glad you guys like the wheel finish! It looks exceptionally bad ass in person. Even my wife was like "whoa!".

IMO it needs some tweeking. The finishes are too close together. It would look perfect if the center was as few shades darker. As it is now it looks like you were tying to match the finish in both parts but did not quite get there.

The best comparition it can think of is nickel and chrome. Apart both finishes look great but if you put them side by side they clash because they are so close.

A little more contrast and you are golden.

Looks great! I came so close to getting that wheel but, with chrome lip.

As odd is it sounds I actually like standard lips. Could you make a one-off set w/ standard hoops by chance?

Just when I thought my wheel / finish choice couldn't get any more difficult, I see another great looking combination like this.

**The WidowMaker** · 08-16-2008

gearheads78 - i agree and disagree. i agree with your thoughts on colors being too close and appearing to be an attempt to match, but i think these are far enough apart. i think the sun and shadows would play a huge role in them if viewed in person.

btw, thats a bitchin rendering in the background.

You may be right. I would just have to see in person to make a final judgement.

**DriverzInc** · 08-17-2008

In person, these wheels look amazing, and are by far one of my personal favorite finishes. I'll try and shoot some photos with better lighting on Monday and post them for you.

Sorry, NvrDun! Jon must have still been getting the cobwebs out this morning. We can not do 17" stepped lips cost effectively because our center forgings only go down to 17" smooth lip which is the same o.d. as an 18" stepped lip which may be a possibilty but not 17s.

I can see doing a retro style 17 on that car with a big sidewall but in my professional opinion, a modern looking wheel like ours lends itself to a little bigger diameter and a smooth lip. Especially with a car the size of a Nova. The one Rad Rides just built ran 18s with a thick 45 series tire to fill out the back.

PM, call or email us anytime if you want to explore the options.

i dont like them. something about that rolled lip doesnt look right and the centers i agree they are too close in color.

**brownz** · 08-17-2008

looks sweet if you ask me..

Let's see them mounted on the car before we make the final decision...

**indebt69** · 08-20-2008

I know the Rushforth's seem to be the next big thing, but I'm not digging this one very much. I agree with Musclecarjohn and need to see them on a car.....

**1969CamaroRS** · 08-20-2008

Probably another picture in different lighting that shows more of a difference between the centers and lip would help too.

And I agree wheels by themselves don't do much of anything, need pics with them on the car.

I have to say this from the time I took a trip to DriverzInc and looked the Rushforths in person it really impressed me the quality that they have, so don't underestimate them
