Better $ deal on Billet Specialties wheels than Jegs/Summit?

For my wallet a little excess, hankering for a set of B/S "New lower priced line" 15" Street Smart wheels (non custom sized). Scouring the net I can't find anything less than over a grand at jegs/summit.

Suggested vendors?

How about a suggestion for not putting those ugly street rod wheels on a cool old ride?

 

+1 on that.

 

Heh heh, yeah I thought about that, but then seems like I've been driving on ugly wheels all my life. I figure its time for a change before my social security gets squandered on somebody who would slit my throat if they had the chance and I have to sell these to buy gas (^!

 

well if you're expecting us to be all happy for your street rod wheels you really have no idea where you are. Maybe had you should have Read This First! then did an intro.

 

What's billet?

 

its a new term for recyclable crap.... don't do it man! what's next? air conditioning?!

 

Rhymes with killit

 

do whatever makes you happy!

 

most of the time it can be fixed with a grinder and a flappy wheel.

 

You could try chrome revers wheels. I've wanted a set for over 40 years. Astros also look nice, as do radirs. The raven has a set of 10x15 Radir bullet spokes they are the bomb.

Don't know who to tell you to contact. But maybe some of the wheel fellas on here can hook you up with a contact. Wheel kid comes to mind.

 

just paint the ones you have red, Maybe no one will notice!

 

HOT ROD TRANSLATION

"im so insecure about my car that i cannot stand to leave it as i would want it. i strive to gain the approval of my peers and am pushed to all new low levels which involve ruining a perfectly good car. on the inside i know im doing harm to my car by installing digital gauges, billet wheels and an LS1 but god damn it i need my goldchainer friends to like me, i just couldnt bear the thought of thinking on my own"

 

Hahahaha! Wrong turn pal!

 

I'm a dealer for Billet Specialties, PM me your zip code and and all the wheel info and I'll see what I can do.

 

Why are 99% of billit wheels ugly?..........Aluminun isn't bad, it's just bad style...........even Foose and Boyd....why not copy old indy car wheels, early drag wheels ect.

Mike Curtis has made some nice wheels ( Indy style) ......I think he should mass produce his wheels.

99.999% of the "mag wheels on Craigs list are really ugly.........who buys this ugly shit new?

 

Because they have not figured out how to fuck up the last 1%!

 

See post one to answer that!

Doc.

 

you were a big wheel back in my youth if you had some of those shiny cragar ss 5 spokes!!!! what was really sweet were the uni-lug wheels with the goofy washers, that way you could mount 'em on any car

 

Hahaha, awesome.

 

The word BILLET should'nt be mentioned on this board.
It's waaaay off topic!

 

If you guys ever have a suggestion for a wheel that B/S should make, PM me. I am friends with the owner.

 

Sure some steel Chevy car bolt pattern with Olds Fiestas already installed!!!

 

Sportscar styled knock offs, "improved" Halibrand style, Bigger diameter copies of some of the OEM styles from the late 60s early 70s imports. Chrome reverse OEM style in aluminum with trick caps. And the idea of a Fiesta style flipper wheel...not bad. I can see that.

 

You've got SOME BALLS,asking about Billet ANYTHING on the HAMB! Especially wheels....
