That being said I would rather support a vendor here if I can get a good price. Thanks.

Come down and see us at Del Mar we will have some show specials going on. I hope to have one more of our new G series designs cut.

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.

Chris,
PM your address to me and I will get the shirt out for you. Or even better bring your car out to Del Mar and come visit we will have T shirts with us.

Hi Jay! Awesome. I will have my car at the Del Mar car show so I'll definitely stop by and say 'Hi'. I look forward it.

I was really happy with the quality and finish of my wheels. I think mine took about 13 weeks too. The show price is hard to beat also.
