Help with selecting wheels!

[DriverzInc]

We're two days from releasing a new New Gen wheel, I think everyone is going to like, but I agree with the above comment from Street3285, and 72tunaboat, the NewGen wheel is "classic" and will look good for years to come. No rivets to date the wheel, and is 3D milled out of billet to give you that classic five spoke look with rounded contours, rather than just a flat faced wheel that takes 20mins to mill. I'd suggest our Brushed Titanium finish for the center, and a polished outer to match that car and keep it classic with a modern twist.



www.newgenwheels.com is under construction, but it has a homepage now.

Let us know if you choose to go this route, or Rushforth, we have you covered with a "mounted and balanced shipped to your door" set of wheels and tires when you are ready.

Happy to work with you on the custom fitment too.

I agree with Jon. I think the NewGen is the way to go. Modern wheels that have a vintage look that will not date the car. Plus the powder coating options give it the one off look. NewGen is the way to go.

Bonspeed has a couple of new designs that would match the clean, classic look you're going for. The Superstar and the Vinspeed have a nice vintage vibe to them.

Let me know if we can help you out. Ask for Gary.

Here is the new design, if you haven't seen it yet in the other thread. The "Splitter". (Excuse the raw photos)

I must say that is a very stunning wheel design...homerun right there.
It would almost be a shame to paint over those spokes...

Brushed John, brushed... this wheel is going to look amazing in a brushed center. You just wait, I'm going to do it on a car... soon...

Been looking at some more options. Call me crazy, but here are a couple more under consideration.

Billet Specialties GTX35: Spokes kind of look like Pontiac Arrowheads.


Billet Specialties SLC62



Billet Specialties SLC77

Those BS wheels with the fluted spokes look way to trendy to me...will they still be in style 5 years from now?

I thought they'd "fit" with the build. But.... After I got a rendering done with them I just didn't feel they were right. So, I ended up going with the new "Splitter" from DriverzInc. Here's a rendering...

That looks GREAT!!!!!.. I got some of the BS SLC62s for my nova. They are a pretty nice wheel. Wheels are soooo hard to make a final decision on. JR

On the car, car isnt close to being complete...
