Default DriverzInc: 2 Tone NewGen KINGPINS on Nova!

Thought you guys would like to see how these turned out.

This customer is local to us here in Corona, and Justin and I drove out to his house after work one day to measure up his sweet looking Nova.

He really liked the NewGen KingPins and was thinking a brushed center or black center with a polished outer. I said to him, why not doboth? I suggested we brush the face, and black out the sides of the spoke, clear the whole thing, and with the recesses that come around the lug nut they would also be blacked out. They turned out KILLER, and matched his car almost perfectly. He's super happy about them, and we look forward to showing this car around SoCal some more once he gets his Wilwood brakes and we install them.

Oh, and we fit an 18x9 with a 275/40/18 Nitto NT-05 on the back in a stock wheel tub!

Enjoy the photos!

What a good looking wheel. I think that would look good on a sport truck. Ill have to look into a set after I find a new truck.

Thumbs up Love everything about them...

...especially the black edges and lug pockets.

Those are winners in my book...cool and unique at the same time.

Looks good, but why the chrome rear bumper with black on front?

To each their own bud! No problem. What one guy likes, another may hate, good thing we sell all kinds of designs, and that there is A LOT to choose from. I'm guessing you are a 15" white letters out kinda guy?
