Budnik Wheels
 
Anybody running Budnik wheels. I was curious how happy you are with the wheels and company. Saw some at the goodguys show I really liked. Also to any vendors out there that carry them please shoot me a pm. They had a pretty good price at the show and I will be going to the Del Mar show to pick up a set. That being said I would rather support a vendor here if I can get a good price. Thanks.

I have had Budniks two times. First and last. My fatlip 18" where out of the the run so much at balancing was impossible. I had to machine the mounting surface to get the wheels straight. If you are looking good looking wheels for car show , go for it. But if you are looking someting for performance. think twice.

Well not what I was hoping to hear. Hopefully some more people chime in.

Never had any issues with mine. Recently sold them but it had nothing to do with any issues with the wheels, they were great.

I own a set of Budniks that I purchased last year. I'm very happy with the wheels. I found the quality of the polishing job to be a bit better than my Bonspeeds that I had ordered a year earlier, and the custom work(brushed accents, narrowed rears) turned out sharp. They also gave me a nice discount at the Del Mar car show last year. I'm not sure if they're doing that again this year. It did take them 13 weeks to get them to me instead of the 8 weeks they quoted me and those 5 extra weeks were a bit "interesting". They claimed it was a hoops supply issue which it very well could have been. Who knows. I was selected as their 'Cool Ride of the Month' for December '08 and I was suppose to get a free T-shirt according to their contest rules and what Jim told me on the phone, but the shirt never arrived. Oh how I'm still losing sleep over that one. LOL.

Overall, I would buy from them again. Nice wheels.
