Here at Budnik Wheels Australia we are proud to have been able to take ‘The Best of the Best’ on tour to New Zealand in April 2006.Their destination was the gigantic Westpac Stadium in Wellington New Zealand to be displayed, on the red carpet for all to admire during the 2HOT2HANDLE world class motoring spectacular. The tour drew massive media coverage both in the print media and on television . The public’s reaction was unbelievable and made the whole tour worthwhile. Late March saw both the Grima Families Chev and Peter Olver’s 1933 Ford Coupe loaded into a 40 foot container for their journey across the Tasman to Wellington New Zealand. The cars were packed by their owners, family and friends. It was a very time consuming and precise task. In total the cars were attended by a crew of twelve, between setting the cars up and attending official events fun was had by all and Laurie’s late night driving skills, in the crew bus are now ‘legendry’! .

Certainly one of Australia’s most credentialed and recognizable Street Machines, The Grima families Pro-Neat 55/56 Chev, set New Zealand on fire on the first ever Budnik Wheels Australia 2HOT2HANDLE New Zealand Tour. The amazing Chev that has been a Summernats top 10 ( twice) , Meguiar’s Show Car Superstars Best of Breed winner, Top Car of Show at Brisbane Sydney and Melbourne Hot Rod Shows, and Grand Champion of the Sydney Car Festival to name but a few of it’s awards, is truly a piece of Automotive Art. The Chev rolls on 17” x 7” and 17” x 13” X Series Anvil Budnik Wheels.

We are so proud to have been able to bring Peter Olver’s pristine 1933 Ford Coupe to New Zealand. The coupe is a recent qualifier for the Meguiar’s Show Car Superstars Final to be held at Motor ex in July and was also winner of Top Coupe at the highly prestigious Melbourne Hot Rod show in 2006. ‘Leethl’ has also been Top Coupe at Brisbane and Sydney hot rod shows and rides on 15” x 6” and 15” x 13” S Series LZ5 Budnik Wheels.
