Weld RTS, Bogarts, Billet Specialties are what I have on the list right now.
Sold my last set of Bogarts. Would consider getting them again, but I'm open to ideas as well.
Thanks!

I would go with the Billet Specialties because they are the only other wheel that I know of that will bolt on the back of an f-body without grinding the rear brakes or swapping the rear calipers. The fronts go on with minimal grinding. Plus they can be driven on the street unlkie Bogarts. Plus, the price is way better than the Bogarts and the lugnuts are better than the Weld wheels when trying to take them off and on

The front welds are 11.76 and the front BS are 10
I will give credit where it is due. The rear Billets for f-bodies are more than the regular Billets. If the Welds bolt up in the rear then they are the cheaper true bolt up wheel.

I had Bogarts before and they are VERY light. However, they are not designed for street use at all. The simple fact that they aren't SFI or DOT approved has pretty much removed them from my list...

Ive had both Billet Specialties and now I am running the Weld RTS's...I can honestly say the Weld RTS's are a lot nice, just a tad bit heavier. The Welds bolt straight up without any grinding at all. The Welds are also a little easier on the wallet compared to the Billets...Either way you cant go wrong.
