Drag wheels help????
Ok, I have tried search. Nothing like what I am looking for, so....
What 15" wheels will fit on the back WITHOUT grinding the rear rotors?
ALL OPTIONS, (for 325/50X15 MT drag radial)

Monocoque is a re-labeled Bogart wheel that is no longer available.
Wheels make the car. If you want somehthing that is high-quality, very light and can be designed for your car, then our Bogarts are for you.
If you want a wheel that is an economy style wheel, don't mind inconviences and a heavier wheel setup, then possibly weld economy prostar/draglites may be in order.
I get asked the question regarding 325's quite often. They look nice, but are VERY heavy and offer little additional traction. They are a 36 lb tire compared to something like an ET street which is ~22 lbs. That is quite a weight difference which will be felt and seen in your braking distances as well as 60' times.
Good luck, let me know if I can be of further assistance. A phone call would be best if you would like to discuss more in detail. Our new number is 724 478 5580 which is not listed on the website as of yet (recently purchased 5 acres of new land as well as building for our shop.)

My friend just ordered the Centerline Convo Pros 15X9 for $250 each. These wheels are good quality strong and only weigh 13+ pounds. Very importantly they are DOT approved so they can be driven on the street if necessary. A very minimal amout of grinding is necessary for fitment. I can't wait to see them in action with my buds new 408. I'll be ordering some soon after I get my 408 installed.
