Help me pick some wheels on a budget!!
 

Ok guys,

I'm working out a sale on my current bc forged wheels, I want to budget and spend less that 2000 on a set of wheels. Maybe 2500 if I really like them. Looking for 18x9.5 and 18x8s.

Haven't priced too many wheels out yet, but Right now i'm thinking about

budnik lateral.

I'm hoping they fit into my price range, right now i'm really leaning towards lateral. Any other suggestions?

Also been looking at some boze forged.

I'm sure most of these wheels are going to push my budget, but I'm fine with spending a little more as long as I'm happy with it.

Hi Derek,
I'm sure Frank is going to chime in with a quote on the Boze, and Tim from PRRC for the Budniks. Good luck with either wheel. I'm sorry that one of the Intro wheels I quoted didn't work out for your. If you change your mind, let me know.

Hey Derek, Jon was right. We almost. We can help you out with the Budnik or the Boze. And We can stay with in your budget.
The lateral will be the least of the 4 you posted.Although not by much.All 4 of the wheels you posted come standard fully polished. Some of them have a brushed finish on them. They run alittle more to to that way but give them a nice contrast. We will be happy to give you a price all all 4 you posted.
You can see all the wheel lines we carry on our web sight www.paradiseroadrc.com
Send me a P/M and I will get you some great pricing.
Tim
Thanks Jon.

Ok working out the quote, any other opinions on designs? The car will be a blue 67 if that matters. Please let me know what you guys think.

Bonspeeds Can be done at $2k and are a killer wheel

I do like the bonspeed intense as well, but like most of the other wheels i've posted better. Thanks for the suggestion Frank.

Derek

Do the Boze wheels come in standard lip design? I can't picture the fat lip design looking good on my car.

im likin those budnik laterals..:yes:

That car is SICK!

That one is in Detroit getting twin turbo's fitted on the 427 LSX motor and then is headed back to us for finishing. We will be doing a trick interior and sound system. If the boys up north get back it to us by March 15th, this one will be number 3 of 4 (if the planets are all in perfect alignment) to debut at this years Year One Experience.

Many more pics here. It was another resurrection!

Now back to the original thread.

Quote; That car is sick!

I second that!!!!

Can you say INSPIRATION!

Lead.

my vote
 

these are cheap and light and black good enuf for NASCAR

Those Weld NASCAR wheels are definetly the best looking roundy-round wheel, but you can only get them in a 15x9.5, 5x5 wheel, with 4.5 bs. And they aren't DOT approved. Can you tell I've been looking at NASCAR wheels:yes:

edit: can't spell

Yes they wouldn't be bad for a nascar themed car. I do need at least 18s though to clear my brakes.

Budnik Lateral or the Boze Tach gets my vote.

Nascar wheels
 

Those nascar wheels are built lighter than a DOT wheel, The real world has potholes and nasty surface inperfections that cause the center to crack out and break. Most racetracks are smooth. I have seen people use them on the street and be ok... but I've also seen them break in as little as a month of normal street driving.

Intro
 

I just picked up a set of these Intro's yesterday for my 1970 Camaro project in 17". They are a brushed aluminum center, and polished rim, like how the Lateral is photographed. Pricing in an 18" would be very reasonable. Let me know what you think, I'll post a photo of my exact wheel tomorrow after the brushing is done. And I'm sure they could make it in Soft Lip, or starndard, depending what you want.

Yes i'd love to see some pics in brushed. I don't particularly like the pic, but I think they would look alot better in bigger diameter.

Ordered the laterals today. Thanks for the input guys, I think I'm gonna be really happy with them.
