I would go with which ever one has the best design. The Billet Specialties "Profile" wheels have the design that goes onto the leather wrap, which I think looks killer.

That does look pretty killer, matches my TTII's pretty well also. Hmmm....I was set on the GTO or Indy, but that does appeal to me....

Ya Budnik was the first to come up with the Split Grip they copied.

Is one thicker than the other? That's my primary concern. I'm sure the quality is top notch for both brands.

I heard someone say the Budnik was thicker, but I've not held either in person. I put a Grant Corsa in my Lotus to get the flat bottom to help with ingress/egress....and that baby was thick! I want something along those lines again. I could barely touch my fingers to my thumbs, and I've got long fingers (piano hands my Grandma used to say, she called me longestrucke, Swedish for long limbs...I think...!)

It was great talking with you Jay, you'll be the first to know as soon as I pick between the GT and the GTO!

I'm actually OVER the split grip design. We're running full leather wraps like our new Shutt wheels in all our g-machines. The grip is much firmer, and thicker. Check them out, they are in our online store: www.driverzinc.com.
