"CHEAPER" Billet and Forged wheel companies?

[NuttinSpecial]

So im back and forth on whether i want to go with
22x8.5 & 22x12 or 22x8.5 & 24x14(or 15) wheels.
Ive been doin alot of homework on which wheels i want and contacted several companies. And after hearing back from Raceline Wheels i was shocked to see how unbelivably fair their prices are Compared to other makers like billet spec, intro, bonspeed, Boyd
Raceline: (All wheels/Polished Finish)
22x8.5 & 22x12=$2850
22x8.5 & 24x15=$3050
Bonspeed: (Vector)
22x8.5 & 22x12=$4330
22x8.5 & 24x15=$4780

So i wanted to know if anyone else knows of any other legit companies like raceline, with fair prices?

I think your on the right track....

I went raceline becuse there price was very fair for a custom set of wheels.

My brother just went intro for his chevelle and was able to work a gtood price through a dealer.

He called all the big name companies direct and they wouldnt deal at all.

Now that you mention that i remember my dad workin on a square body chevy truck for a friend of his a long time ago. My dad called intro and said he was building a truck for a customer and they wanted a set of 15" vistas, Since they thought he was "dealing" them through his business they knocked $400 off that set of 15"s. thanks for mentioning that. I conpletey forgot about going through a dealer. Ill have my dad call and get a quote through his business and see what they say.

We are authorized direct dealers for Raceline, Billet Specialties & Intro. Let me know if I can get you some pricing. Raceline does have a long build time, where Billet Specialties will typically be faster.

I did email intro but havent heard back from them yet. Im intrested in the aurora, sedona, and Gallup. they're all in the route 66 series so im sure they're all the same price. I just dont know if they make them as big as the sizes im lookin for.
I havent decided yet between:
22x8.5 & 22x12
Or
22x8.5 & 24x14
If its not too much trouble id like to get a quote on those if possible. No big hurry it will be a few more paydays before im ready to order.

I contacted billet spec. About a few wheels i was interested in but they said the biggest they make them is 22x10 so i guess their out if the question.

the aurora is one of my favorites and ive yet to see them on our trucks. but if price is the ? go with raceline cause the intros aint gonna be cheap especially in those sizes.

I am really getting old. $2850 - $4750 for a set of wheels is "cheaper"? Add in the tires and you have between $4000 and $6000 in wheels and tires.

Yea i havent seen aurora's on anything either which is nice. I wouldnt go with any of the vista's based completely on the fact that ive seen them everywhere. But as far as price goes i may be goin with racelines for my 68 and even my DD (96 impala)

And yea the 405/25/24 pirellis are $750ea. retail but ive heard of ppl finding them from $400-$500. Still not cheap though. I know ppl put alot of emphasis on billets being tougher and stronger but imo it seems like they just make better lookin wheels then 95% of the cast wheels i find.

If you go the 24x15 route give the guys at drops r us a call, spoke to them a week or so ago and they have the 405/25/24 for around 500, or at least they did then
