Thread: Wheels ordered for the 51' Effie

Tweet

First I'll tell you about the wheel fiasco. When looking at wheels we decided on a set of Budnik wheels that were real cool. I called budnik to make sure they could do the 15" wheel in a 5:5.5 pattern, they said yes. the sales guy at the wheel shop called to verify and they said yes. we ordered the wheels, bought the tires, had the rear end cut and ordered the new axles (with 5:5.5 spacing of course). 3 weeks into the 6 week wait the wheel guy calls me, when the tag was pulled by the actual machinist at Budnik he informed them that they can't cut it. has to be at least a 17" wheel to do 5:5.5.

So we went with this one, not our favorite (more importantly not Ricks favorite, but of the ones that for sure can be done in 15" it is the one he likes best) http://www.billetspecialties.com/ite...scid=17&pid=10

Budnik sucks in my opinion.

so what do you guys think about these wheels?
