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. :thumbsup:

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! :thumbsup:

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.

Here are mine don't mind the finger prints. Thewre are really well built.

I haven't seen them for a few years there with my car.

I'm blushing a little bit. Thanks Everyone for the kind words. It's great to have a community of happy clients. You can't make everyone happy and there are some people who can't be made happy but I'm grateful to all of you.

Jon is correct about Boyd's wheels and I'm proud to have known Boyd Sr and to know his sons and let's not forget that without him and Lil' John Buttera, the aftermarket wheel world we know today wouldn't exist. He made the first few one-offs I designed for clients a LONG time ago and it's probably where some of this started for me.

Thanks to Danny/DCRider for posting the question. Looking forward to putting some wheels on your Camaro.
