Rivets or not?

[jy211]

I have the rated x's for my 55' with the rivets. So which wheel did you finally decide on?

i prefer rivets. they add a little contrast and detail. and they will really make that lip noticeable

I like the rivets, but for me it depends on the wheel design. We just ordered some smoked titanium (polished outer) Fuels without hardware for our 70 Nova. Can't wait to get them!

The Rated X and Livewire both look great with hardware though.

To me it depends on the finish...

Normally I'm not an exposed hardware kinda guy...except on true 3-pc wheels of course but like GM Muscle said,they add a bit of contrast if the centers of your wheel are dark.I wouldn't care for them on an all-polished wheel...too much bling for me.
I opted for the hardware on mine because they are dark and I am totally positive it was the right choice on my particular application :


I didn't vote because like I said...depends on the application.

Not 100% decided, every time I think I have my mind made up I see a picture of one of the other styles & I'm undecided again....

John, Rushforth had me going for a second. There’s a yellow Camaro w/ black Rated-X on their site, I thought you swapped wheels for a sec.
(Sorry, I had to take out that HUGE pic, it was annoying me.)

& you can’t deny how good the brushed Rated-X’s look on a car so. Just an observation.

that's Kenny Davis' Camaro, you can do a thread search & find some pics & info.
It was one of the SMOY entries & I think there is video of it running the course at Good-Guys Columbus.

Chris,

LOL...that's Ernesto's car man,same color (imagine two '69 Camaro's both painted the same Millenium yellow? ) but no disrespect meant to him,he ain't got the stance I got going on...

Besides,if I were to do Rated-X wheels,mine would be a flat dark grey w/polished hoops or all smoked titanium like I did on my Superspokes.

When would you like us to get started on those, John? Or will it be a set of Fuels for you this time? We know it's just a matter of time!! Impulse wheel shopper!

Since I designed the wheels, I'm partial to the hardware and think they'll really look great with your black centers and they just add a little shine to the dark centers and detail to the design but I know they aren't for everyone so that's why we make it an option. Either way, I can not wait to see them on that Mustang. That will look so MEAN and NASTY and those pics will go right up on our website!!

Oh, and John; Please never use the word "bling" in reference to our wheels!
