Wheels for IBM

[Savini]

For the record... we are replacing the wheels for PQ. This is truly a unique issue and we are doing everything in our power to resolve the issue with PQs wheels.

The Rushforth might be the one.

this image was a photoshop making fun of his wheels....

they were drivable (he drove to C5 fest) but they had a vibration due to being out of round

OP make any decisions yet? i was looking at the TSW Nurburgrings for my IBM but now i think i am back to looking at getting the stocks painted.... hmmm decisions decisions

Ya' I know its a photochop.... TSW Nurburgrings in black or brushed???? I'm done with black wheels, they're everywhere..



I've been on the phone with Jason Rushforth working out some details. I'm going to meet with him on the 27th and check out some of his wheels in person so we'll see. My SO was not thrilled about PQ's mess.

From those two styles, the Rushforth matches the lines of the Camaro better. That wouldn't be my first choice in Savini designs, for the Camaro.

i was looking at the TSWs in the matte Gunmetal Gray... they don't come in black... matte bronze is coming soon though...

i know what you mean about black rims are everywhere, but i am not a fan of chrome on these cars. I had polished centerlines on my 89 but man were they a lot of work!

i am taking all the trim pieces off and painting them a satin black to make the other dark pieces on the car (grill, antenna, rear exhaust valance). so i think the wheels will also get the same treatment... plus i think putting as much black next to the blue will help bring out the blues in the paint...

[IBM/2SS/RS/LS3]

I agree with you. All of my chrome is going too and any remaining emblems will be satin IBM. Everyone is telling me to do a brushed lip and painted center on the wheels but as dark as IBM is it would look black until you got close.

The matte gunmetal looks almost black.



This would look sick..

[Rockin the BlueSS]

ya i got a lot of people that tell me the car looks black so i am trying to put as much contrast in it... a lot of black against blue...

that bronze is definitely different... now you are going to have to paint all your trim pieces bronze! paint party!

BTW where are you at? id like to see what some of those matte IBM pieces look like

[IBM/2SS/RS/LS3]

So I met with Jason on Friday and checked out the Rushforth wheels in person and .

So needless to say I was impressed and will more than likely go with the Whiplash.

everyone for your input..

[Rockin the BlueSS]

sorry! he he he

[IBM/2SS/RS/LS3]

picking up the Rushforth Whiplashes tomorrow....

[Mindz]

Let me know when you're putting them on. I want to see them after paint.

[Genious]

I think im going to go with a different set of savini's

may have the center painted Cyber Gray though, any opinions welcomed

I have been struggling with what package to get for my IBM as well. I have blacked out emblems and smoked lights...so I figure I should continue the pattern with the rim as well...I designed these LX15s from lexani, so I would like something like I have below...really liking the black with the machined or black chrome...I need to find it cheaper though haha
