Looking for rims for new project.
 
Hey everyone,

I know ther are a couple of you on this forum who do rims and figured this would be a good place to start. I have a new project coming in and the customer would like a three peace rim or the look. We are stuffing a 345/35/19 viper tire under a 71 Cuda with all XV motorsports suspension front and back. Who ever responds to the thread can you submit some pics of the rims. Much appreciated!!!

That car is sexy but those wheels are too ghetto fabulous. Not muscular. Just my opinion.

ProdigyCustoms 06-10-2008 07:22 PM

Check out www.Forgeline.com then check our website for multiple cars running Forgelines. www.ProdigyCustoms.com.

You won't find a better wheel then Forgeline at any price, and our prices are killer.

Let me know if I can help.

www.fikse.com These wheels are very nice. We are a dealer for their product.

Have you seen that car in person? The wheels look perfect, better than in the photos. (If you have, and still think they are ghetto fabulous, I will shut up and respect your opinion!)

Well I don't care if you respect my opinion. I'm sure people haven't liked your opinions either. Doesn't make any difference.

bentfab 06-11-2008 08:28 PM

Yo !!

Thanks for all the replys. My customer has'nt seen the Forglines yet. I think they have some bada$$ rims and choices so I hope he likes the line considering were going to need 19's. He's out of town till next week. If there are anymore companies out there let me know? Until then thanks again guys. :thumbsup:

JayR 06-11-2008 10:15 PM

Sounds like a great project and we'd love to have a set of Rushforths on it.
We can make you 2 or 3 piece wheels in a variety of styles and finishes and have them on your door in 5 weeks or less.

There are a bunch of photos of our latest designs on the Wheel/Tire section and I can email you a pdf of our new catalog. That also goes for anyone else who would like to PM me or Jon their email addresses.

Wow, wasn't expecting a hostile response, not sure what I did to set you off, I was just trying to make the point that in my opinion, the wheels look good, and your view on them may change if you saw them in person, that's it. And people disagree with my opinion every day....

I'm not being hostile. Maybe the picture doesn't do it justice. From the picture, that style of wheel looks like the SUV's all around town rollin' hardcore on 24's and they really, really annoy me.

Sorry if I came off like a jerk. I should have elaborated.

bentfab 07-23-2008 09:57 AM

Hey All
Thanks again for all the replys. The project is finally moving. Just got the car back from the sandblaster (he's ownly 50 feet from my door step). We did the engine compartment and underside so we can start on the suspension parts. A couple areas in the engine bay need some rust repair but other than that she looks good for a 37 year old. Sorry to the rim guys that I did'nt get back to you. Don't count us out yet because the owner has'nt made a choice just yet. So there's still a chance. He really likes a company in canada I think it's called R.W.O. not sure. But I'am trying to get him to lean towards one of you guys. Here's a couple pics to things started. Oh yea forgot the front down bars are getting ripped out and moved forward. Trust me it was the first thing I told the customer!!

fesler 07-23-2008 12:06 PM

We can do a three piece in any size you need with fast turnaround time. Fesler 3 piece wheels in any finish and size

Check out these Dymag carbon fiber rim / magnesium center... this combo starts around $9000 a set, but they are cool!

bentfab 07-24-2008 07:48 AM

Those carbon fibers are on the twin turbo Mosler I plumbed for Nelson. Those things are pretty sick

porkchop 07-24-2008 08:08 PM

Hey Mark, how about a true knock off wheel like a kidney bean with three bar spinner from P.S. enginering. Just food for thought.

mazspeed 07-24-2008 09:06 PM

I think Forgeline and HRE and some of the best 3 piece wheels on the market. Not only that, their tested. BBS is super high end.

bentfab 07-25-2008 08:32 AM

[QUOTE][/QHey Mark, how about a true knock off wheel like a kidney bean with three bar spinner from P.S. enginering. Just food for thoughtUOTE]

The owner is pretty stuck on his ideas. I can only throw so many things at him. So this build is more of his style and my exacution to make it happen. I'am limited on this build as far as style. I think it will look pretty cool though. I'am going to smooth alot of the engine compartment and at least some of that I will have some say. Remeber I can't say much he is paying the bills. I can only do the best of my ability. He still is questioning the rims? Here's a pic of his other car

You wouldn't by any chance have the rim and tire specs on that nice challenger??? would you? thanks...

bentfab 07-26-2008 11:01 PM

Hey John
I will find out the rim and tire size for you next Tuesday.

tones2SS 07-27-2008 08:55 AM

You got some bad ass rims Fesler.:thumbsup: :wow:
VERY SHARP!!! Can't go wrong with the Asanti type wheels.:cheers:

I am right there witcha.....don't like ghetto wheels sucked into the fenders on muscle cars.

Car is badass though without em.

bentfab 08-14-2008 09:55 AM

some tin work
 
Here's a couple shots of some progress. I've been smoothing the frame rails and doing the neccisary mods for the new XV suspension that has yet to show up. So in the mean time we got rid of some rust and made some custom inner fender wells and opened up the front radiator suppots for a bigger radiator.

I'm not a fan of the high offset look either. But that car needed it because of the suspension. They look awesome with a deep lip though! Remember that is all a part of a custom built wheel, i.e., built to fit.

I would like to see a set of our wheels on that car. Let us know if we can aid in any way. Glad to help.
