Default Got my bogart D10's on.... it's a good week

Got my D10's in and on the car for now with the 325/DR's. The drivers side took some "convincing" and the passengers side is gonna be worse. Steve at SJM made me spacers for use with stock rear brakes as I haven't yet stepped up to aerospace rear brakes and even with the spacers the inside front of the tire rubs up against the bottom part of the inside fenderwell. I had to remove an entire section with a cutoff wheel and a hammer and got them to clear.... On teh inside the bump stops don't seem to be any problem surprisingly.... i will get some pics of what i did to the inside of the wheel well if anyone wants them or expects to run a 15x10 Bogart with a 325/50 MT Drag Radial like these.... fronts were a non issue....

Either way I want to give BIG thanks to Steve at SJM. For anybody looking for customer service that goes above and beyond look to him for your Bogart needs. He answered all my questions, custom spec'd these rims, called back several times with ideas and questions that he had prior to building the wheels/spacers, and the SJM team was on top of everything from price quotes to shipping info, etc.... You WILL NOT GET this type of service from Weld or anyone else. I'm 120% satisfied with these wheels. They are ultra lightweight, rare enough that your car WILL stand out at the track, machined and polished beautifully. And best of all they're bogarts.... enjoy!

incredibly they are wider than the 28x10.5W ET Drags I had on there before.... I'm not sure if it is the switch to a 10" rim from an 8" i had before but they're definitely wider...

Tires are 325/50/15's.... way bigger than a 275 and taller as well.... They are pretty similar to a 28x10.5W slick.. just a bit wider....

here's a better picture once i pulled the car out of my garage...

VERY NICE!! I LOVE the new center caps! Way better then the crappy one I got with my Bogarts last year!.

I also agree SLM is top notch all the way!

You know what I have realized in the last week? All the Blue cars are coming out You almost never see Blue LT1 cars around here except mine
