Default Announcing Rushforth Wheels!

I'm proud to be announcing right here for the very first time in public that I am now designing wheels for my own brand and they are available exclusively through Jon at www.DriverzInc.com who you all know as a Lat-g site supporter and regular contributor.

I've been designing hot rods for a long time and now with the help, encouragement, and full support of Driverz Inc and some key customers, I am designing a line of wheels with an emphasis on style and function that specifically have P/T style musclecars in mind.

These are the first three styles that are available right now with 7 more coming shortly. They are available in 2 or 3 piece, with or without perimeter bolts, fully polished, satin, or powdercoated with some unique new powdercoat processes that look similar to anodizing.

The actual centercaps will be slightly shorter and have my new logo engraved on production wheels but they were not ready at the time the photos were taken. All of the new styles and additional images will be up in time for SEMA on a website Scott is building as we speak.

Default Rushforth Wheels

Gents,

To add a bit more to what Jason has already said above, you can go direct to http://www.driverzinc.com/rushforth.html to see these designs, AND, in the very near future we will be adding the remaining 7 designs that are in the process of being programmed and milled.

I think you will find the pricing to be surprisingly competitive with similiar wheel houses. For a quote, feel free to call us at 951-609-3483, or email us direct. I can also say that we are turning these out in the 4-5 week range.

Look for a handful of cars at SEMA 2007 to be rolling on Rushforth's, including our own 1967 Chevelle, which of course is another one of Jason's designs.



Here are some photos of the very first car, a 69 camaro which belongs to David Sharpe, built by Jared Hancock www.j-rodandcustom.com. Thats a widened 19" on the rear.





All wheels are milled out of billet, heat treated and forged 6061-t6. Widened wheels are very much an option, as well as powder coated and brushed finishes. Jason mentioned two piece and three piece. The two piece wheels are ready to go, with three piece right around the corner.

Looking forward to talking with you all more about Rushforth Wheels!

Thanks for all the positive feedback, guys! I'm really glad everyone digs the wheels. I'm not a pessimist but I tend to believe things only after I've seen them and this has been building for a few months now and I'm so stoked to be able to say it's real and is taking off.

I'm glad Ben and Brian caught the taillights. Those are one of my favorite things on that car and the latitude to design things like that and the vents and buy the very first set of my wheels is what made that customer and that entire car and build one of my all-time favorites. And the builder, Jared Hancock is a very good friend of mine who executed every part of the design to a T.

Cars, builders and customers like that are the icing on the cake of this career path!

Thanks everybody!
