Default Bogart RR-10 wheels installed.

The total weight savings with new tires was 31.8# over the iForged rims with half worn out tires.

Looks, well I am happy

Thanks to Steve @ SJM for answering about a dozen 'tire kicker' calls over the past 3 years and being patient with me. Hopefully I can put these sucka's in the 8's and it will all pay off.

Those look absolutely killer man! Nice choice...my fave fbody wheel of all time.

So did you have a hook up on those 315 MTs or just use the ones you had from the previous set? You'll have to let us know how those continental fronts treat you, they look pretty good and fit the wheel very well.

the rear tires are scuffs i found locally.. lucky score there.

i am holding on to my other MT rears just in case

i have only taken a trip around the block to check the lug nuts so far, but the car seems to ride and react nice to the contisports. they are 3# each lighter than new kumho mx's.

YEAHHH! that looks pretty awesome Mouse. I'm assuming you're not going to drive these on the street very easily?

hey Trust, you still gotta give me a ride in that car when you get it running right!

Looks fantastic! Its great to see a satisfied customer.

Each wheel designs are built to suit the customer. This particular design, will take just about any type of stress with ease. They are designed for hard core road racing where stress/strain is very high.

steve, only thing i would change if i could would be to reduce the front backspacing by 1/2 or so. looks like they sit about that much further in than the rear wheels. this also would have allowed more room for a tapered lip like the rears as opposed to the flat face that the fronts have.

mine compared to this front wheel for example which is more of what i was hoping for.


thanks for the responses. again the rear tires are lightly used second hand. i will be making some lower power passes this friday.

Those are sweet! I think the tapered lip would be the icing on the cake though.

what i did for this (running gm zr1 wheels front and 11's in back) was put a 5/16th spacer on the front (the billet ones baer makes) and i already have 3" arp studs in front and it brought them out real nice. and with the rears fluch with the rear fenders it looks 100x better.
