You should be able to find what you're looking for, with that budget.

I was just looking for different recommendations, maybe something I haven’t seen before.

I understand. With your budget, the choices will probably be mostly traditional fare, though. Any particular style you really like, retro/vintage or contemporary? Those V40's you mentioned never seem to go out of style.

Look at Budnik. They make some nice wheels that are in the same price range as Weld RTSs. I had Budnik Cobalts on mine, which I really liked.

Go with 8s in the front (4.75bs) and 9s in the back (5.25bs). 9.5 are good on 69s, hit or miss on a 67/8.

If there were 4 wheels I’d probably pick them up I’m having trouble getting what I want before the time I want them by which is 6/5. As it is the welds won’t ship til 6/26 and the v45’s are the only ones that vintage has in stock... I was thinking of just getting torq thrust II’s for the time being but they are more than I want to spend on those particular wheels unless I go 8front and 9rear. Has anyone put 275’s on a 9”wide and how would it look in relation to a 235 on an 8”wide whee?

Thanks again-
