Thanks but I'm really looking for the smaller window holes and true "salt flat" look. I'll check out the websites. Thanks!

The Budnik's would work for me. I'll just have the centers painted gray and roughed up some. Are they big $$$? Not that it matters at this point, i just wanted to get my car done!!

Default Budnik Muroc in 3 styles

Hey guys, newbie here. I was just starting to shop wheels a couple weeks ago when my tire shop guy told me of the NIGHTMARES with Centerline. I was looking at the Boulevard, too. You can get this style wheel in American Racing cast or polished, Wheel Vintiques, Cragar (I think a "391"?) and Budnik. I will go for the Budniks myself, just because it fits my style and price range (sort of!). A set of 17x7 and 17x11 polished Murocs is $1697 to my door in California from a vendor in Indiana. I do not know how many of these are available in 20 or 22, though.

Styles: Muroc - least expensive, all polished, standard "stepped" rim. Going to a "Fat Lip" adds $400 per wheel to the 11" width. Muroc II is VERY similar, but kidney openings appear to be a little bigger. Muroc III is quite different in that the spokes are thinner, and peaked, and the wheel insets are satin finish. III is my favorite, but about $1,000 more per set in same size.

Oh, and the tire shop guy also said all manufacturers seem to be having trouble getting "hoops" right now to make their wheels. Still does not excuse Centerline from LYING! Hope this helps!

Larry

I need help, anybody else make these? They have had my money since the first day also....

Thanks for more sugestions. I'll have to call one more time, and this time when they piss me off, and they will, I'll have to get my money back. That shouldn't be a problem correct? I mean they've been collecting interest on my money for 5 months now! Hope they don't make a big deal about giving my money back.

Default What happened??

MXJunkie,

Is there an update? Inquiring minds want to know.

I can't tell you how great Budnik is! Jay has been putting up with me and my "wheeling and dealing" and has been SUCH an awesome supporter!

Drop Centerline and go with Budnik...

NewGen 500 is also an awesome looking wheel! Or, what about Bonspeed "Superstar"? A couple variations from Salt Flat.

Larry

Funny you ask. The 2 front wheels showed up out of the blue on Friday. No call, no email like i asked so I could make sure to be home. But I just happen to be home. They are the look I wanted, quality is so so. Just happy to have 2 at this point. But then again, now I'm trapped and can't cancel my order, and they still won't give me an ETA on the rears still..
The guy at Budnik was very cool and prompt on mailing back and forth.
Lesson learned.
