What kind of wheels are these? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C10-Driver · 01-17-2007, 11:27 PM

I found this picture on another thread (If it is your truck I would like to say - First: Sweeeet. And Second: I apologize for posting pictures of your truck).

Does anyone know what kind of wheels are on this beauty? They look like either a Billet specialties Vintec or a Budnik Famosa. From what I can see of the logo on the center cap, it looks more like the Budnik logo.

So they are the Vintec wheels??? I have been leaning towards them for some time now. They are even "reasonably" priced.

I know the guy who built that truck. He has since sold it.
But he is giving me info to help build my truck.

He said he thought the wheels were 20x8 (4.5" bksp) 255/45R20 front and
20x10 (5" bksp) 285/35R20

I think he said they were called Famosa

My god that truck is nice. At first I thought it was silver but now I see it is green. It is very similar to the look I'm going for on my truck. Thanks again for the info.

What is the color off of do you know?

FarmTruk · 01-18-2007, 03:40 AM

Man that's a good lookin' pick-up. I recently posted that pic (found pic on this board), for a thread looking for silver trucks. Another member said the silver/white looked like a PS chop. Guess they were solid on that.

Hey, I think I like it better in the green/white. Sure is a pretty ride. Thanks for the new pics.

I emailed the guy a couple times about the truck....they are definitely Budnik Famosas.

If that's the same truck I saw at The Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge last season, the color is Kent Green off of a Land Rover. Very nice truck.
