Thanks Adam, On the Billet web site they cost $371 for 17x9.5 and you can get them for Nostagia wheel for $296. The Centerlines are $358 for the 17x9.5. I am on a budget but still want a nice looking wheel.

The billet specialties are probably a better quality product in terms of material, runout etc. But I prefer the look of the Centerlines. They look more substantial.

I agree with Travis, BS better quality wheel than Centerline. Also the polish on those wheels are first rate.

Also look on www.bcforged.com I had a set of those and they were great and very strong. Any offset you want for no extra charge

Just to muddy the decision process

I like the more "open" nature of the Billet Specialties wheel.. and they are cheaper..

Any weight difference between the two?

You had it down to 2 wheels..that is too easy. I can't get the BCForged link to work. www.billetwheels.com

Mine were the 2 piece forged billets. The BC09's, I had a polished lip and a machined center.

They look much, much better in real life.

Good luck in your search...How is texas treating you? I am guessing you only miss Fl when it is not hurricane season.
