In 15'a 16's and 17's, our Bogart's will be the lightest direct fit wheel.

I can offer you this in either our drag series which are designed for drag use OR I can build you any of those dimensions in our road race series wheel which are durable enough to be used in road race conditions (more stressful than street use).

Obviously the drag wheels will be the lighest of all designs.

No manufactures are listed DOT that I'm aware of.

I understand you didn't ask for a company, but I can offer you best information as it's not second hand.

Bogarts are going to be your best bet for weight. For street use, Welds new R/T (see rear wheels in sig) wheels are probably your best bet, but are not as light as a Bogart, because they are a little stronger to hold up on the street.

Lance,

I'm working on a new setup as well. Details will follow in a few minutes. These will be a street style wheel. Look for the new post.

To the poster, I wouldn't recommend that small of a wheel width unless you're using abnormally smaller (wide) tires than what most easily fit on the car.

Give me a call on Monday, I'd be happy to discuss your options in greater detail.

I have Bogart Bolted R/T's. I never got to weigh them though but for whatever it's worth; they're light as hell haha.

I would highly recommend buying from Steve at SJM. Awesome customer service and a top quality product.
