New Rushforth Trooper Wheels on a 68 Camaro

[Mark68]

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.

not bad, just dont like the silver studs in there. on a whole though theyre not bad. :nod:

[BonzoHansen]

Next time spring for the titanium fasteners!

[redsoxsstink]

:drool: i love emm. scratches head i wonder howd they look on my 4th gen or my dads first gen:idea:

[maroman88]

nioce!

[Blackbirdws6]

Very nice. Hope to see these in person soon.

[Mark68]

not bad, just dont like the silver studs in there. on a whole though theyre not bad. :nod:

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??

[BonzoHansen]

they are lighter and more expensive!


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

[sweetbmxrider]

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]

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.

[r0nin89]

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.

[NastyEllEssWon]

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.

[greenformula92]

:drool:

[DaSkinnyGuy]

I approve.

[92REDBIRD]

Looks good.

[T69SS]

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

[CHRIS67]

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

did you still have these?

[Mark68]

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!!

did you still have these?

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!!

[BonzoHansen]

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:

You'll be the first to know if I ever decide to sell them!!

I'm sorry for leaving you out Nick...I'll let you see them too! If this hot weather let's up, I'm in for a nice cruise out to Wendy's...How about it Chris?

[CHRIS67]

I'm down for a show. Looks like tomorrow night might be decent.

Nick - You around for Wendys?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Yeah I'm around this Thursday night. Supposedly it was packed last week when I was driving down south

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Having seen these last night, I have to say they definitely look better in person.

for all the people hating on the fasteners... they are cool because they are actually functional on these wheels, these arent cheapo rims with them on there for looks, they are real 2 piece wheels that need them..

[BonzoHansen]

And they are bad ass

[NastyEllEssWon]

i just wish they were black :D


they do look nice though...at least theyre something you dont see on every fbody. :nod:

[IROCZman15]

looks awesome! going for the grand-touring look ?!

[Mike]

i just wish they were black :D


they do look nice though...at least theyre something you dont see on every fbody. :nod:

if they were black they would show wear from installation, would you want that on brand new wheels?

[CHRIS67]

Suprise they aren't. Just as shocked as you when Mark told me they are plastic. :omg:

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Was never a fan of riveted wheels but those look good.

I say that's the best compromise. :D I like the V40's though, they enhance the stock vinyls on the body, and make it look bold :)
