Default '70 Nova Wheel Pics (Rushforth)

First want to say thanks to thanks to both Jon @ Driverz & Jason @ Rushforth Wheels. They are great people to work with and were really helpful through the the whole process.

Please disregard the bodywork .... still have a lot of work to do, but wanted to show how the wheels look. The front sits pretty high right now, so the side shot has been photoshopped down. Here are the specs:

Rushforth Fuels
Smoked Titanium Center, Polished Outer

20x10
305/35/20 Nitto 555R

19x8
245/45/19 Nitto 555

Looks good, Travis. Thanks for posting up. You should start a project thread with your rendering too or are you keeping it under wraps?

What you forgot to mention is that you bought that thing as a beat up bone stock runner at a GoodGuys show not too long ago and have done all the work yourselves! Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments guys, this site has been really helpful.
The rendering is too large for my scanner, but I just remembered I saw it on the Rushforth Wheels site.

Here is a link to our build thread '70 Nova

Right on Trav! And to think a year ago we towed that sucker home.

Looks like the extra measuring we did paid off! I pulled a couple of tricks with Travis' rear wheels and played with the pad lengths since the offsets on his rear wheels needed to be different. With adjusting the pad length, they both have the same amount of wheel lip exposed.

Looks great brother, now get to the body work!

Awesome look,that is my next wheel combo when this economy turns itself around.

The spokes on the Fuel's are proportioned just right and the little design details that Jason incorporated really set it apart from the sea of 5-spoke wheels on the market.

Looks very,very killer...you should be damn proud.

Thanks for the comments. The Fuels fit the car I think and the Smoked Titanium should look good with the charcoal.

Just need to keep making progress so it can be on the road!
