My new Budnik 18/19's SWEET! Here are the new rims...18x9 w/ 275/35/18 SO3's and 19x10 w/ 285/30/19 SO3's. My buddy Jon at Budnik fixed them up nice with charcol powder centers and brushed fatty lips. The rims where designed to hug the brakes to give the deep lip and they even clear my 13" vette brakes up front

The name of this design is "Ice". They will be out in our new catalog for 2006 that comes out next month. Shannon ordered them in a powder coated "steel grey satin" center, and a brushed aluminum outer. If anyone has any questions regarding wheels, please contact me at jon@budnik.com, or call 714-892-1932. I told you guys we could build them with a deep lip on the rear!
Shannon thanks for posting. I appreciate it.

I tried to order a set of fat lip Budniks for my car and all that was offered to me was a huge
1.75" lip in the rear so I had to pass on them. But seriously it's great to finally see a Budnik wheel with some lip on our cars............. it's just too bad it took a customer to order a set before it was done.
Now if we could just get them in a 10.5" or 11" wide fat lip wheel then we would really have something.

That looks awesome, personally I would have left the lip polished for the bling factor but it makes your car unique, and the fact that they actually have a lip.

Like said above, we can build them in an 11" 12" up to a 15" rim, but to do this, we're taking two 10" wide wheels and welding them together to create a custom widened length. The "problem" customers run in to here, is the price to to this, but if someone wants to pay to go big, it can be done, and we'll be more than happy to do it. We do it alot now for guys running mini-tubs on muscle cars, like Detroit Speed's 1st gen camaros (www.detroitspeed.com). We build alot of 18X12's for them.

Glad to see Budnik get on board with "the lip" too. Not feeling the finish on them though

Thanks for the comps guys!...I am not a big bling guy and chrome/polish just doenst work w/ silver IMHO.
I looked into black rims also, but the color of the grey is pretty dark and works really well.
