Default Anyone else can't wait for spring (pics of new Bogart RT's)

Well just got My RT's and Hoosier QTP's in the mail and Man I'm excited. Strange is still building my 12 bolt so I can't put them on yet. I think the car will be put in storage before it's done so I have to wait till spring I don't know how I'm going to make it through the winter. Once spring comes I'm hoping to do my first wheelie. Sorry I just had to share. Here they are.

Really nice rims! How much did they set you back? What size rims and tires did you go with?

Thanks for the comps guys. As far as size on the wheels, Steve worked with me to get alittle more of a dish look so they are not the norm for f-bodys. The rears will not fit right on the stock rear end unless you have the axles shortened. For the fronts, they need back spacers and possibly some grinding. They will fit just right once I upgrade to some better brakes. They are 15"x4" in front and 15"x9.75" in back. The QTP's are 27x11.5x15. I can't wait to have them on and see how it all comes together, should look real nice and take some time off my et.
If you guys are looking for prices just contact Steve @ sjm, they are a sponcer --->
price will vary depending on what you want but Steve was great to work with and he'll set you up with what you need.

Heres a close up to show how deep the rears are.

Thanks again everyone. Once I opened those boxes, I knew they really are worth every penny. I am very happy with the quality. I have not weighed them yet but they feel very light.

"i assumed you narrowed the rearend for that backspacing?"

Yeah, if you read my second post I mentioned they will not fit a stock f-body. I'm not sure on the back spacing but the rears are made to fit a rearend that is 5" total shorter than stock. So if you wanted them to fit a stock rearend you would have to chop each axle 2.5"s.

Just to be clear, Bogart does make these wheels to fit a stock f-body perfect, they just won't look exactly the same. Steve helped me figure out what I had to do to get them to look the way I wanted.

Thanks for clearing that up!! How much 'less' lip is there with the stock width rear?

For folks that are interested in price-quotes, please click the e-mail link I have listed below. There will be a sheet that you can fill out which helps me calculate what you need for your car. If you have additional comments questions or goals, please include them in the comment section listed below.

Pricing depends on how we build each wheel and what particular size you need. Price changes between series too. Typical setup are 1200.00 and up. Once again, there is no standard built setup...you do not call and order per part number. Our wheels are truly customized.

Many of our wheel series are high-ended wheels…the cream of the crop. For the economy minded person, comparative to a weld prostar or centerline we will seem expensive. For the discriminatory person looking at weld alumastar 2's or other weld high-end wheels...our wheels are less expensive. We can build them LIGHTER then a weld alumastar 2. Our warranty service and repair service is second to none. You do get what you pay for with our products.
