I just bought a car with Budnik wheels (17" TuskII), and I am trying to find an approximate price/value...

Anyone know of an on-line source that has prices listed? Or is that not available with Budniks?

Thanks...

17X8 and 17X9.5 Tusk IIs, Chrome plated too...

if you are selling them send some pictures my way and your asking price...I am looking for the size of wheels (and appropriate BS - 4.5"/5.5")

what did you buy Tony.......I though you were putting the 66 money into restoring the SS? To quote the McDonalds commercial:
Wife: 'I hope you like what you've done to the dog house'
Husband: 'We don't own a dog.....'

:D

Actually, My goal/intention for selling my '66 convertible was to be able to afford to get started on the 66 hardtop AND buy another car... I had a list of other cars I was interested in, and the car I bought was near/at the top of that list...

the new car is a 1970 Chevelle Malibu (although I wanted an SS or clone)... this one does have a new SS hood (unpainted). It has a bench seat/column shift, but a decent interior. It also has a 427 small block (aftermarket block), alum heads, TH400 trans and a Fab9 rearend (Ford 9"). It also has factory disc brakes and working A/C... It could use paint, so I am looking into a quickie/cheap paint job...


I figured (and my wife basically agreed) that it will take several years for me to get the '66 nice and driveable, and so I "needed" another car in the meantime to have fun, go to cruises, etc...

I figured I could budget up to $15K for a car (I paid $12K), and use the rest for the '66. I also figured in a few years, I can sneak some more money into the budget ;) , but that $13K + (I sold the vert for $28K+) would get a nice start on the '66 (I already had alot of pieces sitting around)...

As a bonus, the '70 came with an extra '71 12-bolt posi (needs brakes, axles and some small parts. was rebuilt, but axles were left out and had some rusting, so I passed on them and will get new ones. Since I don't have wheels yet, I figured maybe the LS1 brakes would be better on thios rear, rather than my "correct" '66 rear. Just have to order my BS accordingly...

The wife is okay at this point, but now I have 2 projects, and not enough time for even 1 :(

Congrats Tony! You need to post some pictures.

them rear wheels have a 5.5 back spacing and are 17.95 the front i dont remember the sizes should be stamped in the wheels on the inner rim lip . you will have to take them off to see the factory stampings . http://www.budnik.com/ tony you can go here to see the cost of them wheels before the chrome plating. i got them wheels from mike virga they came off of steve coolidges camaro and the chroming plate work that was done to them ran coolidge 3200 bucks .

Thanks Joe... I checked Budnik website, but didn't see prices... I just haven't had the time to call any "dealers"...

Any luck on your trip?

those rims came from tognottis as coolidge and dean are really good friends . in fact there is still to this day a second set that matches those rims as cooldige had so much money to throw around he didnt know what to do with still sitting in the back room at tognottis i tried to buy them once to have a spare set but they are owned by coolidge and dean wont sell them. just write budnick with the rim spec,s and they will send you back a price quote.

I just ordered my new wheels from Budnik. I talked to Jason at Budnik and met him at the Good Guys show a couple of weeks ago. He is a cool guy if you call he will probably answer any questions you have.

I wish my Budniks where that cheap! I paid $2850 for just the wheels. You get pounded when you go 14" wide...LOL
