I need to know who makes this wheel. Can anybody help me out. I snapped this pic at a local Rod show last summer and now I want to buy some of these for Project '49.
Any help would be great.
Thanks guys, and I love this forum! :seizure:

Looks like the budnik Tiller fatlip BUT it is not. This wheel has rivets in the rim and has a magnesium type of look to it?? I would be curious to know as well. Here is a pic of the budnik wheel just in case you want to compare it.

Could it possibly be a Forgeline?

I agree that they are Intro's they are also really close to the HRE C22 wheel. I know HRE wheels are trick wheels. I have never seen a Intro wheel in person so I have no comparision there.

Intro makes a nice wheel, and they are very easy to work with.

Intro makes quality stuff we have dealt with them many times!

What/who is the best place/person to buy Intro's from? I really like the wheels, but the $2400 retail on their website for 18's is a little out of my budget. Is it possible to get them cheaper?

They are factory direct. I inquired about selling there wheels here in the midwest. No go. They make a quality rim. Cheaper.....maybe Travis has better advise on that one.

I got those wheels in 17" and like to know how those guys change the rivets on theirs. Mine does not look as prety as those.

That's cool. They look ALOT like the Boyds I was looking at buying, but whenn I contacted them I found that they didn't sell them smaller than 19's anymore. I will look into the Intros now! Thanks for the tip!!
