Budnik wheels have arrived!

[damascus]

i started searching for a wheel/tire package back in september 2008. Richard (gearheads78). Richard really was super helpful and kept me on track. Jon at DriverzInc.com had some great advice as well ~ thanks Jon. in the end, i finally settled on a set of Budnik Billet Muroc wheels.

the real difficult task for me was finding the right tire size for the wheels. it's really crazy when you get down to overall diameter (tire height), section width, recommended rim width, etc. ... it was nuts. i know that many of you have been there - done that.

here's what i (we) came up with:

Budnik Billet Muroc wheels ~

18 X 8 with 4.50 backspace
18 X 9.5 with 5.50 backspace

BF Goodrich g-Force Sport tires ~

245/40ZR18 front
275/40ZR18 rear

for those curious on the Budnik build and delivery time - i ordered the wheels on 10.23.09 and they arrived today ~ 1.19.10. i ordered them from Paradise Road Rod & Custom. a good friend with a pro-touring mustang recommended PRRC for Budnik wheels. Jim was fantastic and i believe PRRC prices on Budnik wheels are excellent (http://www.paradise-road.com/).



when the roads clear up, i'll have them mounted and take some more photos...






i think the Budnik Murocs compliment the muscle car look with a slighlty modern twist.

i'll be adding a Lee 670 steering box in the spring and then i should be all good.
