100% right - Rushforth all the way

There really is no comparison.... Rushforth is a FAR superior product.

While many times wheels come down to what you like as far as style... that is a different question and you asked about quality. Ask anyone that has a set of Rushforths and you'll get the same answer. Top notch #1 stuff.

I don't have Rushforth wheels, but I got to check them out on display and on a few cars at SEMA. I was VERY impressed with their brushed finish. I have this thing for brushed wheel centers, so I'm always looking at how different wheels compare. I have to say that the brushed finish on the Rushforth's is the best brushed finish that I've seen. Much better than the finish on my HRE's.

This is the answer I was hoping to get! Thanks for the help!

69 Camaro red coupe, white houndstooth, white ss stripe, with 18" Livewires all the way around.

Should I go all polished, or.......????

What would you do?

Definitely love my Rushforths. If you are look for finish options you might look at their brushed smoked titanium centers and / or lips, very popular.

Pictures really don't do them justice, if you can get to a show with a display and see them in person, you will be sold for sure then.

^ brushed or smoked titanium centers (love smoked look) - Livewire above is my favorite Rushforth wheel

Not only are their wheels incredible their SERVICE is absolutely unheardof in the industry today! For example (and I know Jason will smile and cringe at the same time when reminded of this) but I literally spent months... no years trying to pick the wheels for my car!! Jason helped every step of the way once he became involved... to the point he even shared a rendering of a wheel yet to be released! He made suggestions and took the time to listen to what I wanted not worrying about the sale. Add to it he's a designer and he KNOWS what's going to look RIGHT on your car!! My brushed/polished SuperSpokes mimic the dual scoops on the Formula hood for example... everything just flows together and it looks right. Wheels make or brake the look of a car... Jason will help you get it right on yours!

I think it boils down to what wheel specifically you are talking about, some of the Boyd true billet wheels are pretty nice, but definitely a completely different "style" of wheel than Rushforth. Choose the wheel that best suits car, and your taste, and go with it.

Give me a call if you have any more questions on either line.
