Can anyone photo chop these onto my car and lower it 2" in front and 3 inchs in rear. I cant decide on which wheel I like, if I could see it on the car that would be very helpful. What do you think would look best? Choices from left to right are Intro-v-rod, Intro-matrix, new gen 500,bose-mesh, or rushforth-rated-x. Thanks in advance! i will be going with 18" on a stock chass. Tire choices are (F 225/40-18 and F 255/40-18) or(F 245/40-18 and R 275/40-18)

You know my vote! Here's a better pic of a Rated-X for you.

another vote for the Rated-X

My biased vote would be the Boze Mesh (or Pro Touring)

NewGen if you are looking for the classic look or the Rushforths if you want a more modern Pro-Touring design. Either way I can get you great pricing on both.

Thanks justin. I just purchased 3" lowering spring and will be installing tomorrow. Then I need to save a few pennys and maybe in a couple months Ill be ready to buy. Ive had the other rims on my car for 22 years and I didnt spend a fraction of the price for the ones I am looking at now!, so These will be with me for a long time and I need to make the right choice

I agree with Justin completely. I think the Rated X is one of the nicest looking wheels around, and looks great with any number of finishes applied to the center or barrels. However, they are a very modern looking wheel. So if you want to hang on to more of the nostalgic feel, that NewGen 500 is sweet and with some money spent on finishes they can like a modern replica of the old rally II's. So it's up to you, modern or old-school with a modern twist.

I think the Intro's would be better suited for a chevelle or hot rod. Not sure why, but to me they just don't seem right for an F-body...

That's what I'm talking about.

Rated-x was my first choice when I first started looking. I do like the modern look. Jason has a great wheel for sure! Then I started looking around..now I like the v-rod as well. Ill have to think about this one

If I could see how these two look on my car, that might help

thanks

I have in stock a set of brushed center Rushforth Super Spokes would look hot also.
