I was thinking about Centerline Convo Pros, but damn, those Bogarts look good and their extremely light-weight <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

So...dragstrip only? Anybody driven 'em on the street and see how they held up since they're so delicate?

What do the 15x3.5" drag light rims weigh, around 12# each?

In a couple weeks I'll have a scale that is a little more accurate

Did you have to fill out a form with all the measurements for the rim to be custom made or did you tell them the year of the car and they knew what would work?

DRBOOST, no form, just call and tell them what you want, takes about 4-5 weeks.

JS, thank you very much, everyone involved worked very hard on the setup.

the aluminum is very very very very very VERY soft and any kind of bumps can damage the wheel easily.

that is why they are a strip rim only
