The bottom 2.  I do not like the top.  Budnik are expensive are they not?

I would think about some powder coat onthe last ones. if they were mine,

They do cost a bit more than others, but your paying for the quality, and to be a little diffrent. Call me crazy, I like the way those Budnick rims look on the Xtreme Lee. You can't get those specific rims, their "one offs" Vectors Budnick made for the Xtreme Lee. Must be nice to have money! :nutkick:

I like Fikse rims myself.  That is what I got for my B body.  www.fikse.com is the website.

Fikse wheels are absolutely beautiful, I was gonna go with them myself on my Project '69. However, be prepared to pay BIG, HUGE MONEY for them, they are NOT cheap or for those on a budget. For the wheels I was looking for they were about $1200 PER WHEEL!
If it wasn't for my budget in this build, I would have went for them.
Instead, I've settled on these Foose wheels myself:

Here is a picture of the Fikse FM5 rims that I have for my early B body car.  These were fairly expensive but not $1200 each.  I think they were around $800 each but it was a few years ago.  They were custom built to my specs both front and rear since I needed them to clear the 13 inch brakes up front and I needed a bunch of offset in the rear to clear things.

Day-yum, those Fikse's ARE nice!  :icon_smile_cool:
I was looking at the honeycomb ones, kinda like the ones that are on that silver Viper-powered '68. Those are actually Kenesis wheels, which are even more expensive than the Fikse's!
I was looking at a 19" for the rear, and an 18" for the front. The 18's were like $900 or so, the 19's were definitely over $1000 each.

Mine are only 17 inch rims so that might be why the price was lower for me.  I have 17x8 up front and 17x10 in the rear.

Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

I don't dislike any of them, but I prefer the stock look of the Magnum 500 and Rallye wheels on mopar muscle.  I really don't like the look of the steel wheels with dog dish.  Thats just me it is all up to your own taste.  I really like the old Cragar SS and Centerlines.
