Question Bogarts on a daily driver?

do you think it would be a problem to have a daily driver with Bogarts? if not then what sizes would you run? it will have m/t drag radials on the back. also if anyone has any pics of black camaros with Bogarts please send thanks.

Drag wheels are built for different uses...mass is removed to keep unsprung weight low in addition to rotational mass at a minimum. They are not designed for lateral loading.

There appears to a misconception with drag wheels, the front wheel is highly stressed, NO manufacture that produces drag wheels i.e. weld, centerline etc makes a street legal runner. No matter what manufacture that you are considering produces a safe drag runner for the street.

Other manufactures stamp on the outside of their wheels "for drag use only"...we do not do so since it takes away from the show-finish and overall appearance of the wheel. No-one makes a safe drag wheel for everyday street use. I'm not sure why someone would want to use a drag setup for everyday use anyways...handling suffers quite a bit, not to mention braking.
