Rushforth, Tough Choice, Please Help!
 
I got in on the Rushforth sale that PRRC was offering for the past week.
Tim was nice enough to give me a little extra time (with a down payment) to make my final decision on which wheel I want.
I was trying to make this decision on my own but, it’s proving to be too difficult of a choice.

Keep in mind I will most probably order my wheels with a Black or Smoked Titanium center.

Thanks to Allkar for the great photochops.

These wheels aren’t exactly what Rushforth is offering but close enough to their “Livewire”, “Strutter”, “Super Spoke” & maybe “Fuel” to give you an idea (see last image).
Five spoke w/ Black center & Chrome outer?

Again, these wheels aren’t exactly what Rushforth is offering but close enough to their “Rated-X” to give you an idea (see last image).

Because the Fuel's are so new I had to give Allkar the closest thing I could find.

Thanks again Allkar for this example of Black Fuel

Chris,

As I mentioned over at PT,I'd do a black centered wheel with a polished hoop since your car has so much black going on now.
I like the Superspoke-style wheel you posted and I think the Rated-X-style wheel looks too busy on your bodystyle,JMHO.
I would photochop some Fuel's in the color I mentioned and see how that looks first before you go further...that may just be your wheel.:yes:

#3 is what I would choose

Thanks John,

I like the Fuel & Super Spoke. I don't want to be too big of a burden on Allkar but, if he (or anyone else) wants to photochop some pics for me I'd appreciate it very much.

i just got mine for the camaro , wow what a change in a car . quality on the wheel is perfect .
black rated X thats my choice , because of the black stripe

picture number 1....since I am running the black center rated x's on my 55' project! :D

I say number #2.... to give some contrast. But I think either way you go, you can't go wrong.

Chris I hate to say this but...I think your getting to much of a Mad Max thing going on there. That car is AWESOME and so are the wheels choices. Of the three I'd vote for number 3. However I have to wonder what it would look like if the Rated X had a polished center. It just seems to dark of a finish for such a bright car.

Just my 2c.

Flat black Rated 'X' with polished hoops (since you have chrome trim). :thumbsup:
