Default ***new Rushforth wheels***

Many may know I've been wanting a set of BBS RS for the Celsior. Well, 3-piece BBS RS stopped at 17" inchers.. So, I gave a good friend a call and had these custom made. That good friend so happened to be Jason Rushforth, car designer/concept artist in the Domestic Hot Rod scene.

Jason is super cool always willing to help out.. he actually launched his own wheel company a few years ago and quickly got very popular. Anyways.. here are my next set of wheels.

Where are the wheels made? US Wheels, same as DPE.
Hit him up, Jason is hella chill with crazy-fresh ideas!

Also gotta thank Ken of Spot Nine Studios for taking hella sick photos.. all I wanted was some shots in different angles.. he does a full-blown killer feature.

Check it out!
will debut on car at Wekfest 2010!

no bling chrome heavy crap here. Every wheel is 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum same as DPE, Intro, or HRE. The wheels on the website are all high polish rotary forged 2 and or 3 piece wheels.

quality for sure!
