Budnik Wheels

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had any connections on Budnik Wheels or somewhere that has them at a reasonable price. I am looking for 18's front and rear. Best price I have so far is $516.38 ea. Its a toss up between the Teardrop and the groove wheel. Kind of leaning towrd the teardrop. I have also considered the Boze Stinger with brushed center but something about the center cap i dont like. anyways let me know.

boze forged also has ze forged which uses the same wheel design for the most part. there are over 10 versions of the stinger wheel now.

as far as budnik that's a pretty standard price. the best i've seen them is around $400. check the minitruck pages and forums. sporttruck.com, etc.

budnik makes a very nice wheel. their polish isn't as bright as boze but their weld and overall construction is top notch.

I'm a big fan of Budnik wheels. Although you may not get the luster as with a few other companies, they have some really neat designs to choose from. The Budnik Hammer is one of the best looking wheels I've seen so far..

Do you know if the center cap has changed mutch. lol I love the wheels but if the center cap was flush, or more rounded i think it would look better. not to mention i like the idea of the brushed look on my Pologreen RS.

If you go with the ZE (division of Boze) Octane wheel I believe you'll get the look you want..

i have flush caps and the standard cap that sticks out, either one is an option that you pick when you order. if you don't speak up you get the standard that sticks out. i leave the flush caps off, the ones that stick out give an illusion of more depth i've found.
