Default 18x8 wheels

I need some suggestions of where to get some 18x8's for my '65 Corvette. They gotta have 4 - 4 1/2 backspace. I'm not looking for anything too shiney, more function, gun metal spokes etc. I'm finding that there is a much better selection for 17's. Is there a place I can call for Enkie's?

Have you thought about powder coat or brushing wheel centers/outers?

Thanks for the reply Budnik. It's interesting to see your wheels are available in 18x7. Are they available in 5 x 4.75 with a 4.5 inch backspace?
Will they clear Early Corvette calipers?
Would it be possible for you tell me how much these wheels weigh? Tiller 5 and Gasser
Thanks, Frank.

Frank,
Here at Budnik Wheels we custom build every wheel for your needs, from bolt pattern, diameter/width, back space, to finish. We take into account for every detail of your vehicle including brakes and suspension. We have proven fitments for '65 vettes that work, or we can adjust the back space for a more "custom" look. Tiller and Gasser will weigh about 20lbs in an 18x7.
-Jason
