Thanks, it's nice to know others think they look as good as I do. I'm really happy with how they came out. I'm installing my 12 bolt and the wheels tomorrow, I'm so excited I think I'm gonna have to drink myself to sleep tonight lol. I'll post pics of the final product.

Sorry guys, I know your waiting for pics but I have been going through hell with my 12 bolt install. I should have it finished up tonight. I do have the wheels on in back and they tuck very nicely. I'm having trouble getting the stock driveshaft attached so I havent dropped it down yet. As soon as its all together I will get pics posted up.

I don't understand your question. Nevermind, your asking about the mini tubbing. Someone else will have to help you cause I don't know.

Oh yeah!



One more just to show how nice they tuck.

I'm thinking about taking out the rubber piece on top of the spring to eliminate the gap, what do you think, good or bad idea?

And if your wondering whats all over my car it's ice. It was like 4 degrees and I had to wash it before I stored it. It would freeze before I could get to the rag to dry it, lol. Luckly my storage spot is heated so it all melted and dried. Well, let me know what you guys think.

OMG! i want

too bad they cost so much and i would only use them at the track...

BTW: anyone who has narrowed still use some kind of "real street" rims? With such offset i guess anything would have to be custom... which $$$

Looks fantastic. The combination really works well with your car. Glad that I could help out.

The wheels really aren't that pricey...if you compare it to a prostar, then it may seem..but if you compare it to a high-end weld alumastar...it is much better:-). As you can see, wheels make or break a cars appearance. Biggest mod you can make to a car and show off which of course everyone notices.

In person, I'm sure it looks 1000 times better too...most of our Bogart customers agree and I hear it quite often "man they look even better in person!".

that thing is sweet! I like the the stance as it is, but it might look a little bit better if the spring rubbers were removed.
