We're huge in South Africa!

OK, maybe not so huge, in fact kind of exclusive as Brett Allan has the only set on the whole continent!

The wheel brand has taken on a life of it’s own in less than 2 years and we’ve shipped wheels all over the world but Brett Allan was the first to contact us from Africa.

Like what happens to all of us in this industry/hobby/sport, we have something in common with people everywhere and make friends as a result, then couple that with the internet and some good marketing, and you never know what will happen.

Our friends at Chevy High Performance ran a press release on the wheels last year and a copy happened to get in Brett Allan’s hands in South Africa so he went to the website and dropped us a line and we became fast friends. At the time, Brett had a dream car in mind but hadn’t even bought it so he told me when he did, he wanted a set of Rushforths on it. We corresponded for months bench racing about everything under the sun as we’re close in age and interests and we even talked on the phone a couple times.

Late last Fall, Brett finally found his dream car, a 72 Camaro and snapped it up in short order, then started a punch list of things that needed to be addressed including the wheels and stance. Brett’s car was a bit of an oddball as it had been equipped at some point in the last 37 years with a Jaguar IRS that needed some attention as well as new measurements to figure out the backspacing as we didn’t have anything in the books for that set up.

We got it all figured out and built Brett a set of 19” Super Spokes with our Smoked Titanium finish on the centers and put them on a boat just in time for Brett to get them while on leave from his job in Saudi Arabia, mount them up and drive the hell out of it while on break and he even took it to a big hot rod show.

Thanks Brett! Glad to have you as a friend and thanks for representing the brand in another corner of the world!
