I did not mean to imply Budnik is better than any other. The personal service I've received from Jay has been above any other company I have ever dealt with in all my years of working on cars. (I have not talked to Driverz Inc or Rushforth, though, and they seem to be VERY responsive to customers!) I've read MANY great things about other wheel companies like Rushforth. I would have gone with another company if there were another style I liked well enough.
I did personally witness the lack of quality on Centerline wheels, though. I would not consider Centerline after seeing their poor machining quality.
