Default Rushforth Wheels - opinions?

Anyone had any dealings with this wheel manufacturer?
They seem very quality conscious and I like one or two of their designs, particularly the black widow.
Opinions on the company?
Opinions on the black widow wheel for an A/O coupe?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Great quality wheels and Jason is great to work with. The fit is just incredible. Here are "Rated X" in 22's on my camaro.

Wow I cant imagine puting 22s on a car, but those do look very nice/clean. Bump for a nice looking camaro!

The Camaro can puut the 22's off due to the size of the car. It's a horrible look on the Vette. To the OP, unless they can manufacture each wheel to a specific offset/backspace you will probably be limited as to which you can buy to fit.

They will do anything you want - custom made wheel.

I prefer the smooth look - no rivets at the edges and really don't see a need for bigger wheels. Just want a nicer look.....
Anyone else have them on a Vette?

I wasn't trying to sell you on these wheels or changing sizes - I was just showing you the end product. They make a great product but you won't find many of their wheels on new vettes as they don't cater to this crowd. They are mostly muscle car/hot rod wheel providers.

If you are really interested, I would contact "Nine ball" on this forum. He is a dealer for them and can get the best pricing available plus he has incredible knowledge on getting the right fit. Best of luck.

No worries. I've been looking around since I rejected the 7 spoke Gm aftermarket wheels. (just didn't like the way they were finished) and contacted Jason directly. He seems really design and quality oriented. Answered my e mail quickly and suggested interesting options without pressure.
