Are Budnik Wheels worth it???
Im looking to do a new set of wheels. I was looking at Budnik but are they worth the 500-1000 a wheel or are there other companys who make something as nice just cheaper????? Just want some ideas and some pics of nice custom wheels on a silverado. Thanks guys.

They're forged aluminum in some classic designs, built in U.S. 
I absolutely love em. Some of em. But then again, I like some other manfacturers as well. But again, not every wheel they make.
Centerlines, Intro, the list goes on. You're gonna get opinions on this like mufflers or which tranny to get. Most people haven't owned 2 brands of wheels, trannies, mufflers, headers or whatever. I know some are gonna say they have, that's fine. Those that have can provide insight as to if some co. is better or not. Otherwise, it's just they picked this or that. FWIW, I want some Budniks, & hope to do so next year or 2. They're customer service is top notch. I witnessed it firsthand, some of the quickest work I've ever seen in my life. Where I worked, the guy gave the wrong offset on some rims (his fault, not Budnik). They sent out the correct offset w/in 24 hrs. Sure, shipping may've been a fortune overnighted, but it impressed me.
BTW, which are u thinkin of putting on your ride?

billet wheels are expensive. they are nice wheels . other companies that make billet wheels include centerline ( a bit cheaper as well ) , intro , bonspeed ..etc it pretty much comes down to what wheel you like the most .

Well right now I have these. I want something with more style so when people who know what theyre looking at will appreciate the truck. Im not sure what wheels im think yet but something along the lines of bonspeed BigBlock wheel. Thats why I would like to see some pics of peoples different types of wheels. I want a offset. I need to look into what size tire i can get for a 20 that are 31 inches tall. I want 10 in the back and 8 up front. Right now im looking into everything. I want to do the body with a hood and roll pan, paint door handles, Im doing a gt4508r with a different set up, and I want to do wheels at the same time.
