Rushforths on a GTO
 

Here's a killer GTO built by some good friends and wrapping it up just in time for the Good Guys Puyallup show here in Western, WA

It's awesome to have my wheels on my friend's cars and even more so when they look like this!

19x8 and 20x10 Whiplashes with Smoked Titanium on the entire wheel fill up the wheelwells nicely and set off the charcoal and white perfect!

Looks killer! Very unique, the wheels truly set it off. I'm diggin' the whiplashes. :thumbsup:

Wow Jason, those wheels look killer on that car. The entire wheel in the smoked titanium is great! Of course the car is pretty damn nice too.:D

friggin sick!!!!!!

Looks good Jason. But then again,...they are RUSHFORTH wheels!! lol:lol:
That's a pretty unique paint job for a GTO! Looks good.:thumbsup:

Looks awesome Jason...

How big of a lip is that in the back... ?

I'm stil deciding on how big a dish I want....

X2...awesome Jason!:hail:
Digging the custom lower front valance panel too.:thumbsup:

Probably about as deep as these,lol...:yes:

Awesome news about the car Jay,looks well-deserved!

DRJDVM's69,

I measured this wknd,this lip is 4.25" on a 10" wheel,stock 12-bolt.

You too can have this look,just get with Jay or Jon.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING JOHN!!!:cheers:

That's a stock width rearend so it's only about a 4-4.5" lip, Ned. If you're going with 12s and haven't narrowed the rearend yet, just center the wheel and it will look killer. Not pro street deep but a nice wide lip that will look aggressive.

Trust me! I'm a designer and a wheel man!

I was planing to get the rims and then measure for a rearend.... I have a mock up 8 3/4 stock in there now.... I was leaning towards a 4-4.5 inch lip.....5 is looking alittle too Pro-street to me....

I dont want the dish to the rear looking too out of place compared to the front. I like a deep dish but not too big.....

Looks awesome........... hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks it will be time to pull the trigger on the rims...

The dish on mine I believe is 4.5" and I have a stock 12-bolt...they appear to be about the same as that Goat.:yes:

We're getting alittle off subject but....how did you get that big of a dish with a stock rearend in a 1st gen?

On mine its a 9 inch rim 275 tire 5.5 BS and the dish is 2.75.....

Anyway....looks great.....

You just have to order the "right wheels" Ned!

WOW!! NICE GRASS!!
:hail: :lol:

Thats one killer Pontiac :thumbsup:

Jason --

I have a sick sense of humor.

I love your wheels on this GTO...
:cheers:

Wheels look good! Just the right color for that car, and the right size.

The best way to do it, coming from a guy who's been in the wheel business for a LONG time, build the wheels the way you want them too look, and then narrow your rear end to fit. It's the BEST way to fit them, and to get the look you want.

:lateral:

Probably due to pad thickness. I believe some wheel makers just use a thick pad to make sure the wheel will clear any type of brake package, where others get that brake information and make the pad more narrow to create that larger lip.

you tell 'em Jay...:woot:

As a post script to this thread, Wade who owns this beauty was awarded a Builder's Choice award by Art Morrison at the Good Guys' Puyallup show last weekend. Way to go, Wade!

Thanks Jason. I'm glad it turned out so well. I have to say it could not have been done without all of the help and hard work from Chris Morrison "BRIGZEE "doing the bodywork, paint and everything else I needed help with..

Way to go!!

But I liked it sooooooooo much better on the grass!! :lol:

Congrats Wade!! You have a nice car.:thumbsup: :cheers:

Congrats Wade!:cheers:

Congrats Wade! I saw it at the show and these pictures just don't do the car justice. It is a really clean and well put together car. Nice job!:cheers:

255/35/19s in front and 295/35/20s in back.

Wade just pulled down another GoodGuys pick in Spokane yesterday! No surprise because this car defines curb appeal!

its hard to catch in the pics but the wheels(rims) already have a red pinstripe on them.
