      Budnik is a 8 to 10 week build. We tell our customers up front about that. Still a great wheel, but you will wait.

      Hell,8-10 weeks is nothing in the custom wheel world,I won't throw anyone under the bus (hint,hint) but I've waited 3 months before and the wheels still weren't done in the correct finish and the center bore was drilled too small.

      What kind of car are they going on?
      Where will i be able to see this vehicle?

      I might be going with one of those wheels in the future. im thinking of 18X12 with 335/30 18 tire on rear and 18X8 front.

      You will need a offset spring shakle kit if you run leaf springs, or a aftermarket rear suspension that is designed for mini tubs and big tires

      If you were talking about the Boyd wheels you ordered i'll gladly throw them under the bus for you. I once waited 6 months and finally had to cancel an order from them.

      The GTX or the Spark is sweet. I wanted a set of them until I priced them out. OUCH! But sweet.

      Woodbeecat, Fikse appears to be gone, no one can reach them for the ast few weeks. Might want to make another wheel decision.

      Forgeline has hidden hardware available on all wheels, so you might want to go look around over there stroked.

      It took 5 months to get mine. I also had them sent out to get chromed also. They look great and were worth the wait.
