Rushforth, Tough Choice, Please Help!

[BallnRods]

I got in on the Rushforth sale that PRRC was offering for the past week.
Tim was nice enough to give me a little extra time (with a down payment) to make my final decision on which wheel I want.
I was trying to make this decision on my own but, it’s proving to be too difficult of a choice.

Keep in mind I will most probably order my wheels with a Black or Smoked Titanium center.

Thanks to Allkar for the great photochops.

These wheels aren’t exactly what Rushforth is offering but close enough to their “Livewire”, “Strutter”, “Super Spoke” & maybe “Fuel” to give you an idea (see last image).
Five spoke w/ Black center & Chrome outer?

Again, these wheels aren’t exactly what Rushforth is offering but close enough to their “Rated-X” to give you an idea (see last image).

Because the Fuel's are so new I had to give Allkar the closest thing I could find.

Thanks again Allkar for this example of Black Fuel

Chris,

As I mentioned over at PT,I'd do a black centered wheel with a polished hoop since your car has so much black going on now.
I like the Superspoke-style wheel you posted and I think the Rated-X-style wheel looks too busy on your bodystyle,JMHO.
I would photochop some Fuel's in the color I mentioned and see how that looks first before you go further...that may just be your wheel.:yes:

[Musclerodz]

#3 is what I would choose

Thanks John,

I like the Fuel & Super Spoke. I don't want to be too big of a burden on Allkar but, if he (or anyone else) wants to photochop some pics for me I'd appreciate it very much.

If I could do it for you man I would...:yes:

i just got mine for the camaro , wow what a change in a car . quality on the wheel is perfect .
black rated X thats my choice , because of the black stripe

[jy211]

picture number 1....since I am running the black center rated x's on my 55' project! :D

[street3285]

I say number #2.... to give some contrast. But I think either way you go, you can't go wrong.

[Spiffav8]

Chris I hate to say this but...I think your getting to much of a Mad Max thing going on there. That car is AWESOME and so are the wheels choices. Of the three I'd vote for number 3. However I have to wonder what it would look like if the Rated X had a polished center. It just seems to dark of a finish for such a bright car.

Just my 2c.

Flat black Rated 'X' with polished hoops (since you have chrome trim). :thumbsup:

Exactly..+1

[BallnRods]

If you guys could help my find some pics for Allkar to photochop I would greatly appreciate it.



Thanks,

Chris

Here are the super spokes. The black center washes out the detail. I only did the front.

If you can get a good pic with a Fuel wheel mounted on a car I'll chop them.

The very first set of black Fuels will be ready this week and we'll get you photos ASAP. In the meantime, I have to say the Black Rated X looks so sick on that red car with black stripes and just makes it look so mean!

Thanks for taking part in the sale and being part of the brand and the Rushforth family and a big thanks to ALLKAR for the bitchin' photo-shops!!

[DriverzInc]

Yup, the first set of Black Fuels will be ready by Friday.

On that car, I think you got to go with black rated X. I agree with Kenny D, they match the stripe on your car.

Thanks for choosing Rushforth Wheels! :thumbsup:

I think pic number 3 looks the best.like someone said it kind of compliments the black stripe.

[Modmach1]

Saw your pm BallnRods :)
What size are you gonna run, and is red with black stripes the color you are going to have?
Tell me this and then i will be able to give you an answer :cheers:

That is SO your wheel right there man:yes: ...looks awesome to me!:bow:
As I mentioned,as much as I like the Rated-X wheels,they look too busy on your bodystyle,JMHO.The meaty 5-spoke Fuel's will give you that muscular look and accent your car perfectly.

Did you "borrow" those off my Chevelle like I suggested,they look like my wheels.:thumbsup:

18x8 front 20x10 rear

I'll be keeping it red w/ black stripe for at least a couple of years.
I do however plan to repaint it some other color as soon as money allows.
No matter what color I paint it, I will make sure that the BLACK wheels will still match.

Thanks,

Those are SICK wheels, which is making my decision even tougher…..

Yes, those are off your Chevelle, Nice car BTW.

Thanks,

[Modmach1]

I would have went with the Rated-x or the Super Spoke :cheers:

[buickfunnycar.com]

Yes, those are off your Chevelle, Nice car BTW.

I thought so:yes: ...that was before I switched to color-matched center caps.

[fesler]

I would have to agree with Kennyd the black with that paint would look best.

[BallnRods]

I'm pretty much down to these 2 wheels.....
Livewire & Rated-X

Here is the tally including Pro-Touring, Lateral-G & Family
Since I’ve decided I like the Livewire, I put all other 5 spoke (Fuel & Super Spoke) votes in the Livewire tally.

Totaled votes:
Livewire (Black) = 8
Rated-X (Black) = 13
Rated-X (Smoked) = 3
================
Total Rated-X = 16

That is an average of Rated-X 2:1 over Livewire.

Now, let me tell you these 2 rims were my original 2 favorites, but……
…… but…… but, I must say that the Livewire is my very 1st original vision of what I wanted before I ever seen the Rated-X.
I am so torn. I love both of these wheels so much. They give the car totally different looks bc they are 2 totally different styles.
There is a part of me that wants to go against the popular vote & get the Livewires but, I really do want what wheel looks best on my car so, if the majority of the people think the Rated-X looks best then maybe that’s what I should get.

Thanks to everyone who has participated in helping me with this.

Stressed out,

Your car,your credit card,ultimately YOUR decision...what does your gut tell you to do Chris?:rolleyes:

Personally,I still think that the Fuel wheel compliments your particular bodystyle better IMHO but hey...that's just me.;)

[andrewmp6]
