New Kid on the Block: Russtec Wheels

The end of January is almost here, and that means you have about two months to start prepping for the show season. Are you ready? Well, if you’re looking for a way to differentiate your ride from all others, giving your car some new shoes is a perfect way to set it off. Wheels can take an otherwise stock-looking car to new levels, and if you really want to separate the meat from the gristle, finding a unique, new, or rare brand of wheels is key.

With that said, let me introduce you to the new bad boy on the block� Russtec forged wheels. These babies are forged from solid 6061-T6 aluminum alloy using a 10,000 pound press, and all that pressure creates an extremely lightweight, super-strong and hella-sexy looking wheel. And since they’re hand-finished in Italy and the US, you know they’re going to look as good as they perform. Russtec has six two-piece wheels available for your rolling pleasure, and they’re available in four different finishes: polished, brushed, black chrome or carbon fiber.

We’ve got pics of the entire line and the press release after the jump. Check it out!
