Budnick is not an option anymore. Frank made that easy for me... I did'nt think this would be that hard,ITS A WHEEL........ I originally had HRE wheels,I sold them to a friend, I did'nt want 18's anymore,plus I wanted the hidden hardware. So that was a easy choice. But now Im all over the place. Just when I thought I had it down to two companies,its back to four BOZE,HRE,FORGELINE,FESLER ... Im usually quick to pull the trigger on this stuff ,but Im waiting for my floor from MCC so I have way to much time to think.

I feel sorry for you

I will have to disagree, A 2 piece 12 wide wheel is just fine. It is true that a 12 wide hoop is not available at this time. How ever we have sold count less set in 12+ widths with out 1 issue. The statement that was made about a 2 piece wheel being widened is not the way you want to go is just hog wash.
A widened wheel is just fine. All the major wheel manufactures offer this service, Including Boze.
Hell Weld Craft makes a living at widening wheels. And I have yet to see one widened hoop ever have an issue.
Hope this clears the air of misconceptions.

I had 2 pc. wheels that were widened on a lifted truck with 35's. I towed an 8,500 pound toy hauler numerous times along with the bed full of gear and firewood with no problems at all.

I would think if a widened wheel can hold up to weight like that, it would be more than OK on a pro-touring camaro. DSE uses widened 2 pc. wheels for cars they build also.

I can't tell you how many two piece outers we've made, and had made in my years of doing wheels without one of them ever having a problem. There is a right way, to do it, and I've never once had a problem with them. We built countless 12's while I was at Budnik for customers like DSE, as well as in our Rushforth and Schott lines and not had one issue what so ever.

I have however had three piece wheels leak, regardless of what size they were....

I think it is more an issue of style & cost (read: your budget) that should probably determine your choice. Let me know if you need help with any of our brands....
