New Rushforth Trooper Wheels on a 68 Camaro
 
Here's a few pic's of my 68 with a set of the new Rushforth Troopers. These have the new black diamond centers and polished lips. I'd like to thank Jon & Justin at Driverz Inc. for all their help in getting these wheels and tires sized correctly for my car and putting up with all my questions! Let me know what you guys think of them.

I guess they are ok....





















:p awesome!


Look at that, someone on this site buying wheels not made in China and that cost more than $99 each! W00t! We met Jason R at Sema, what a nice guy.

I guess that I could always have them powder coated black. Would you like them better then?

What's the deal with the titanium fasteners. Is this an option that I wasn't told about??

they are lighter and more expensive!


actually, i'm not sure it's an option on rushforths. forgeline has them.

to be completely honest, its just not doin it for me. i like how the chrome lip goes with the chrome molding but the black face just doesn't fit IMO

Anti_Rice_Guy 07-01-2010 07:49 AM

This is a tough decision Mark, I really like these, but to be honest I think I might like your other wheels better

These look better on a 1st gen yeah, but should be all chrome.

I like the black ones, but not on the 68. The classic lines of the 1st gen clash with the "busy" feeling in the wheels with all the studs, black and chrome, etc.

Yeah, same here.

For a newer style wheel on a classic car I think they look very good.

I'm still partial to some plain old silver rallys on a car like that though.

lol its not about what i like, its your car, do what you want for yourself. i just never was a fan of the studs/rivets on wheels.

DaSkinnyGuy 07-05-2010 02:46 PM

I approve.

92REDBIRD 07-05-2010 06:59 PM

Looks good.

T69SS 07-05-2010 08:51 PM

I like them but i have to agree with Nick. I like the others he posted a little better

CHRIS67 07-06-2010 07:05 AM

I like them but all the chrome hardware looks a little busy. Maybe they look better in person.

Your right on Chris...I plan on painting the chrome hardware black and adding black lug nuts so I can get rid of that "Bling" look! They do look better in person, which I'm sure you'll get to do soon enough!!

Yes, I still have the VWW V40's. I can always slap them on if I want that classic look and use the Rushforths for the pro-touring look!!

If you ever decide to move those wheels let me know first. :)

Can't wait to see that. In pictures I guess because you didn't say I get to see them in person. Guess I'm chopped liver now :lol:. Should come to Wendys again so I can admire your eye candy and you can admire my local eye candy :wink:
