Anybody running Budnik Wheels?
Hello all,
I was curious if anyone was running Budnik wheels on their C3. I'm looking for some new wheels and I love the look of these. The photo below is a sharp C3 with the Budnik Grid 5's. They don't make the Grid 5's anymore, but they have some very nice current ones. I like the Chicane and the GTX.
Thanks!!
The Chicane is very similar to the Grid5:
The GTX is also nice:
Here's a sharp C3 with the Grid 5's. My favorite:

I don't have Budniks on my Corvette but I have one of the 1st sets of 20s they made back in 1999 on the rear of my '55 Nomad (Mercury 5s). I have done the wheel fitment for several street rods and muscle cars for friends who went with Budniks (the last one this past June). Their customer service is still very good and there quality is exceptional. They now offer several finishes and if you don't want to polish the clear coat is just about undetectable. The GTX is a timeless wheel and you may want to consider a contrasting center. I have nothing but good to say about the company. Good luck if you decide to go with Budniks.

Thanks 3JsVette,
Yes the GTX is a beautiful wheel and will probably be what I choose if I can't source a set of Grid 5's. It's good to hear that the company makes quality products and has good customer service. It says a lot that you still recommend them after 13 years of dealing with them. I'm searching classifieds for the Grid 5's, but it seems that no one has them for sale. I can't tell if that's because it wasn't a popular wheel or because no one wants to give theirs up. I like the TT 2's a lot for the C3's but I would like to have something that looks good, but is different from the crowd.
Thanks for the informative reply.
