Budnik Fontana's- Love them, quality is great, certainly a beeotch to keep clean, although any high polished aluminum wheel is gonna be that way especially if you log miles.

Thumbs up

I have been running 17 in Famosas for about 4 years now, I like them alot. Cleaning is made easier with the maguires mini power ball though. I will probably be looking for another wheel next year and Budnik will probably one of my first choices. If I were to recommend anything, get them with the flush mounted valve stems located on the inside of the wheel.

So good quality wheels then? I kinda like these, the rocker, gtx and sapphire. Ive never heard of a flush mounted valve stim, cool. Do I request that when i order the rims?

I use Budnik all the time as well, there are ups and downs to all the wheels companies out there. The one thing I do not like about them is that they are soft so they dent easy, pain in the you know what to keep clean and if you damage them they take for every to get fixed. Budnik builds sick wheels that have been around for many years. The one piece stuff is getting into the 3 piece wheel prices so there are some things to consider when buying wheels. take your time and pick the wheels you like the most for the money.

Default Budnik Wheels

Sorry to throw this in here but PRRC can't receive a private message as a result of their message storage exceeding limits per an error I am getting when trying.

Tim,

I am currently down to wheels and tires to finish off a 67 Camaro. I have been looking at Intro, Billet Specialties, and Budnik. I am located in Bedford, IN about a hour and a half south of you so it would be nice to be able to come in and deal with someone in person, bring in the wheels I have on the car, have you double-check my measurements to agree before ordering, etc. You have quite a few references on Leteral-g that sound happy.
Do you have Schott Americana or Budnik Fontana fat lip examples in stock? I am going to be in Indy on the 24th so I would like to know what you do have in the shop to look at.

I am looking at 20x11 or 12 and 18x 7 or 8
Is there much price difference between the two brands?

Here is a link to my car http://www.procharger.com/gallery/sh...ket=3&idx=1847

Thank you,
Carey
