Default Any news on the Gregg Weld Wheels?

They were supose to fit like the bogarts, no grinding or spacers. He was going into business with Boyd Cottington to make them, But since Boyd Cottington died, what is happening with them?

i talked to them about the rims and they said they are still in motion. the first shipment should be available at the end of march. i was concerned too about boyds death pushing them back but i was told everything is still okay. pics can be found below.

for some reason summit has them priced lower than greg weld does. might want to order them asap before price gets to bogart status.

I like the drag star alot. I'll have to check out what summit gets for them. Really don't want to order them before they are actually made though.

I really want to know how the front's fit. Im looking for some skinnies right now. I will get the rears after I get a rear end.

The gregg weld site shows a 17" rim. The summit site does not.

If you order a rearend before you order your wheels, you could have it shorten an inch on both sides, and the wheels won't stick out.

Then the stock wheels won't fit right. It is mainly a street car.

They were supposed to be test fitted weeks ago but still nothing. I'm glad they were moving so slow b/c it gave me the chance to buy Bogarts
