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

Where should I be looking for the best deals on a set of Billet Specialties wheels?

RTS because they are lighter than billet specialties and still bolt up without modding the breaks

Lighter? Weld list the 15x10 at 16.6 lbs and Billet Specialties lists their 15x10 at 16.2.

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...

That is the reason I won't go with them. I have the BS personally.

Weld RTS bolts on the rear without having to swap brakes or grind oem LS1 calipers. We have seen a couple cases where very minor material has to be removed, so little that you could do it with a piece of sand paper. Bogarts can also be driven on the street. Just as Weld Racing does, Bogart has a street line too. OP, your question is which drag wheel to buy. If it's a drag car, I'd chose Weld Alumastars/Magnums or Bogarts over the Billet Specialties Streetlites or the Weld RTS wheels, as both of those wheels will be lighter than the Streetlies and RTS wheels. In the end, it's all about what you want to do, and what you think looks best.

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.
