Nice....I need a new set of wheels. Are those clear coated or would I have to polsih those? Can you describe the construction? Are those one-piece or two-piece? Forged or cast? Billet? etc.

All Budnik Wheels are two piece forged Billet from 6061-t6 material. And every set is custom built to fit the application.
Ceramic clear coat is an option on every wheel as well as colored centers.

Yes, greater than 300 a wheel, but less than 600 a wheel. I think that's pretty competitive for a billet wheel though. I'm pretty sure competetiors like Fikse and HRE are much more.

Jon that wheel looks fantastic!
and I love Budnik wheels, but it seems the wheels pictured on the website seem to look better than the ones actually produced for our cars as the offsets on the pictured wheels are not close to what we actually need . What I mean is how about posting a picture of a wheel that would actually fit on a 4th Gen FBody for us to get a look at?
The reason being 2 years ago (when I was wheel shopping) I wanted a set of Budnik Tiller Fatlip wheels for my car but when I called inquiring about the size of the actual Fatlip all Budnik could offer me was a 1 3/4" lip.
Now that didn't sound very much like a "Fatlip" to me so I went with iForged to get 3.5" wide lips in the rear. Now if the Tiller could have been made with a larger Fatlip then I would have definately bought those and saved me some cash. I have seen the Tiller wheel on 4th gen F-Bodys and with the shallow "Dish" design they look a little weak on our cars IMO. (Sorry)
So my question is does Budnik now offer a wheel for a 4th Gen F-Body that looks like the ones pictured above with a true Deep Dish look? If so they might just end up on my next project.
Thanks for listening and for showing us the new wheel, I really like the wider spoke design. Greg

I agree with the SS Fat lips on wheels make or break the look... I totally like the offset and lip sizes on SS's car those I forgeds look perfect IMO. If i could get any other wheel to look like that I would jump on it.....By the way what are those magic #s SS ????????? Care to enlighten me >??

I like them as well, but I too would like to see a deep-dished wheel mounted up on an F-Body to see just how they'd look, in 18" preferably.
Anybody else think the "Spark" would look good on our cars???
Hope you don't mind me posting a link to the Budnik site.
