Default 335s

finally came in 13 weeks budnik ice 12" rears with p zero 335/30/18 Front 8" 245/35/18 Does anyone have advice on the best way to clean the rim with out leaving scratch marks? They really do make excellent wheels. The camaro has been at the body shop for almost a year so it might be ready soon.

SWEET WHEELS !!! But good luck keeping them nice . I have yet to find a polish or cloth to keep them looking new ! Should have got there new clear coat, its pretty sweet!

I will never own Full polished wheels again , unless they have a clear coating!

Again nice wheels, keep us updated!

I agree on the coating. It isn't powdercoat or clear paint, it's a ceramic coating that gets cleaned like you would a chrome wheel. Perfect for a car that gets driven.

I had it on my Budniks and also had my new Vintage Wheels done. The place they use is Specialized Coatings in S. California. you can still have yours done.

You would be surprised how well the billet wheel polish from Budnik works. It is their own brand, and it worked very well on my Budniks. Give it a shot.

Hey Jody, I don't see pricing on their site... do you recall about how much the clear coat costs?

thanks
