Default My NEW Bogart Floyd RTs!!!
Well I only got the fronts in, but rears should be shipping out Thursday or Friday (hopefully). The rears are going to look mean with 5" backspacing. The fronts I got with 2.5" backspacing for a little more dish and a non-welded spacer so when I do upgrade to the Strange front drag brakes, I can remove them and tuck the wheel even more. Enjoy!

why are they called "floyds"? dont tell me its named after a guy named floyd (from the st louis area). i just have a hunch. they look great. the 5" backspacing will look awesome. we love our alumastars with the same setup.

They're named after a guy who wanted a set with no outlining. Don't know who he is or where he's from. I can't wait to get the rears.

Thanks for the compliments!

Wheels look great, I'm sure you'll enjoy them. Steve is awesome to deal with, I can't say enough good about him.

Nice! Post some pics when you get them mounted.

<subliminal message to Steve @ SJM>
I wish Bogart would turn out some front runners like the new 1 piece Weld AlumaStars.

This should be in the wheel and tire forum, not drag racing tech. no useful "technical" info about them. dragoholic you need to start posting in the correct forums.

I'll have mounted pics of them as soon as I receive my new rear end. Still waiting on my rears, 15x10 w/5" backspacing.

The regular Bolted RTs spokes are outlined.

Technical info, hrmm...well the fronts I had them NOT weld the front spacer on so that when I do upgrade to the Strange drag brakes, all I have to do is remove the spacer. Then the wheel will tuck 3/4" more. On the rears, I had no spacer included as my new rear end will be coming with Strange drag brakes. I narrowed my new Strange 12 bolt 3 inches per side and got 5" backspacing on my wheels.

You're gonna love those wheels, I just got a set of Floyds too, welded style. Very clean & simple.
