Wheels, Wheels, Wheels????
Well, I just got my new tires BF 245-40-20 front and 295-40-20 back, but no wheels... I know that I am putting 20x8.5 on the front and 20x9.5 or 10" on the back.
So I have found 5 wheels that are bad a$$, but I can not make my mind up. So let me have it. What do you all think? 1) is Boyd Coddington Dictator 2) is BOZE Forged ZE Shifter - Luster 3) is Budnik Famosa 4) is Billet Specialties Soft Lip Vintec Dish 5) is Billet Specialties Vintec Thanks, Trav

Re: Wheels, Wheels, Wheels????
#2 looks good but I can tell you from experience you will HATE those rivets in about 10 minutes. Having had a set of original Boyd 3 piece wheels that had protruding bolt heads, I will NEVER do that again.
The Vin-Tec and Famosa are the same wheel so there no real difference there. What you have to decide is do you want exposed lugs or covered. Exposed lug=Boyd Dictator Covered lug= VinTec SL

Re: Wheels, Wheels, Wheels????
I don't know if the deal is done, but I recently heard Boyd had sold his wheel division...again.
If you decide on the VinTec's let me know.

Re: Wheels, Wheels, Wheels????
Not one of your selections, but Intros have a quality product similar to your choices:

Re: Wheels, Wheels, Wheels????
Ken , are you looking to sell or do you have a good source for them . If they might be for sale , keep me in mind as you know I have always liked your wheel setup since they are not softlip . Frank
