Re: Opinions on a Billet Specialties wheel please?
I have a lot of billet wheels & Billet Specialties are a quality wheel.
I have to agree with the gray center idea. Especially on orange, my buddy just sold a orange 72 stepper with chrome wheels & he always wanted gray centered wheels to offset the bright orange paint. Also, with a shop logo & you wanting a nostalgic look I say gray centers. |

Re: Opinions on a Billet Specialties wheel please?
I've had a few sets of billet specialties wheels. They make a great product! However, I got sick of polishing them. The grey centers might take care of that..

Re: Opinions on a Billet Specialties wheel please?
Same here. I have had 3 sets of Billet Specialties and two sets of Intros. They all look so good when they come out of the box but its a ton of work keeping them that way. My next set will have some sort of painted or matt finished centers.

Re: Opinions on a Billet Specialties wheel please?
Hey Nate, do those wheels you have also come in a matte/brushed aluminum type of finish? Ive seen a very similar wheel to yours and am trying to find out who makes them. Sorry to pillage the thread. Back on topic, I think the gray will look great with the orange, too.

Re: Opinions on a Billet Specialties wheel please?
They may not be exactly like Nate's Vintecs or brushed as you mentioned, but Billet Specialties does offer a wheel that's really close - with a gray center. They're called the 'Legacy' and 'Legacy 2' I like the brushed face wheels too though. It would be a sharp looking wheel. (Brushed Vintec)
