Does anyone know any good brands that make a nice set of wheels that don't cost over 500 a rim? Thanks I'm looking for this type of a style

I haven't found any brands that offer a 12" wide wheel for not much money. You'll likely have to buy a set of narrower ones and send them to WeldCraft wheels in Michigan to widen them accordingly for $250+ per wheel. Still a pretty good value.

XXR has some good looking wheels too an they're cheap. We've used them on some of our projects and they've held up great.

Billet Specialties Cast series is a nice choice that is around your budget. The rears are 625 for a 18x12, but the fronts are much less at 393 for a 18x9, so it pans out to 2036 for the set. And site sponsor, Newstalgia, offers free mounting/balancing/shipping when you order tires from them, too.

Another choice I like are Vintage Wheel Works. No 18x12 offered, but the 18x8, 18x9.5, and 18x11 can all be had under 500/wheel.

I have ordered 5 sets of wheels from Newstalgia over the last 10 years, and their service and quality have always been spot on.

Good luck!

Look at the Weld RT series. I want them for track wheels. I am planning on Forgestar wheels for the road. Most companies have a big upcharge past 11 or 12 inch widths.

Team III and CCW are the top of my list
I sent my rears to Vaughn Machine in Cali, was cheaper than Weldcraft.

Ccw's would be on my list too. They are pretty reasonable too.

I would also recommend looking at the Weld RT-S series wheels. They are true forged wheels at cast wheel prices.

Has anyone ever used their wheels? I know I will need a adapter but for the price of these seem like my best bet

Take a look at our website e offer several brands and pricing is on line. 12s will be hard to do on your budget. Take a look at Budnik wheels. they will be the closest to your budget.

Not a bad price... Hopefully they're decent quality!
You'll definitely need billet spacers on all 4 wheels. Billetwheeladapter.com I think is the best price I've found on them.

I hope the quality is good I think I'll order just one wheel and see how the quality is before ordering the rest, if I like them then I guess I'll have them widen
