Bogart is the only true bolt-on 15" wheel for our cars right now. The rest require grinding on the brake calipers, wheel spacers, or both to fit. Steve at SJM is the local Bogart guy on this site.

Bogarts hands down. They are not cheap, but well worth it.
Centerline Convo Pro will work with the least amount of grinding compared to other 15's besides Bogart.

Steve @ SJM is great to deal with as well. Go with Bogarts.

Convo Pro's bolt up just fine as well, at least mine do. Bogarts definitely get the factor though!

the new greg weld rims look promising. I am going to wait to hear some response from those before I buy a set of those or bogarts.
