Default ***New Wheel Line brought to you buy DriverzInc.com***

We would like to introduce the first in a wheel line we are proud to be apart of, "New Gen Wheels". New Gen Wheels came to me and asked for help achieving their dream. What was that dream? To produce a custom built, forged, billet wheel that could replace the lessor quality cast designs of the past, with the versatility of modern sizing, and finishes, and offer an alternative to the quintessential "pro-touring" wheel designs available today.

New Gen wheels are two piece construction, rotary forged 6061-t6, and available in step lip and soft lip. Yes, step lip too!

Finishes include, full polished (shown), brushed, powder coat (titanium, black, gun metal, etc.), and clear coat.

Step Lip sizes include:
15x7, 15x8, 15x10, 16x7, 17x7, 17x8, 17x9.5, 18x7,18x8, 18x9.5, 20x8, 20x9.5 (or custom widened widths)

Soft Lip sizes include:
17x7, 17x8, 17x10, 18x7, 18x8, 18x9, 18x10, 19x8, 19x10, 20x8.5, 20x10 (or custom widened widths)

This is the first wheel of five designs. It is called the "Thrasher". This is an 18x12, built to clear 6 piston Baer brakes and are going on a mini tubbed 69 Camaro. Now you can have classic design, modern construction, to fit the most common upgrades being made to your classic muscle car.

Now for the kicker! Pricing is surprising affordable considering the 3d milling, two piece, billet construction! Call for pricing details! More to come from New Gen wheels as we continue to build new sets, and designs.

Got a chance to check these out today at the shop today and they are bad ass. Super high quality with a modern and classic muscle car touch. Its about time someone brought a wheel like this to the custom wheel market with all the finish and sizing options. Not to mention I could not believe the pricing! Got a good one here bud!

Definitely a sweet looking wheel. I had the opportunity to see the first wheel design in person and the workmanship is superb considering the affordable pricing. What's also nice is the ability to get a classic looking wheel in custom widths. Jon best of luck with launching the new wheel line!

The center caps (pictured) are all smooth dome style.
They will eventually be engraved with the New Gen Logo:



I corrected the original post to show the 17" step lip sizes too. Sorry about that....

Here is the first set that shipped out mounted and balanced:

Default New Design!

Here is the second wheel to be milled, and added to the New Gen Line.

The "Splitter".

Further Information:
Take note of the the 3D milling on our New Gen Wheels. Every contour, and detail cut takes extra time in the mill, adding compound curves to the spoke and overall detail. The sides of the spokes are curved, the area between the lugs are curved and the window framing is also curved. Also, the perimeter of the wheel is beefed up and adds added structural support to evenly distribute weight under load.

More photos to come. I just shot these quickly at the end of the day today as soon as they were out of polish. Look for more photos next week as I will be taking them in for photography this weekend.

Enjoy!
