Default Bogarts

Take a look at this question and answer to Bogart about some wheels and let me know what you think. The manufacturer wanted to make a deal, then all of a sudden wanted to shove me off on an authorized dealer when I started asking if the wheels will clear the calipers. The dealer that I went to still hasn't replied.

Anyone with advice/experience w/ these wheels?

Reply from Bogart:

we can make a 15 x 4 for the front & a 15 x 10 for the rear of your car in our P-1 Billet Wheels!

We recommend 7.5" backspacing

Question to Bogart:

Looking for rear wheel that will fit stock GM 10 bolt that came with 17 inch stock wheels w/o running into clearance issues on calipers, etc... The brakes and rear end on this car is stock. Will be running a MT 26 x 11.5-15 ET Street (Bias Ply). Also looking for 15 x 3.5 inch wheels for the front.

He will take care of you

There is no "Bogart" They are all hand made at SJM. What was the name of the vendor that he referred you to?

Bogart is the name of the company who makes the wheels. SJM is a distributor of Bogart wheels.

Evidently I was. Did a little research on it, and found quite a few vendors that sell them to include SJM and Thunder.

Nope. Bogart is in Phoenix and they are they are their own entity... Now Steve probably knows more about Bogart's product than anyone .
