I hear you about catching that $3.07 per gallon on the sign in the background. Pretty soon here we'll look back at these pics and think.....wow we paid $3.07 per gallon......... now we're paying $5.07!!!

Looks very hot!

RR wheels are very strong. They are designed for high-lateral forces which are seen on RR courses and the like.

Offhand, I don't believe I have ever seen a set damaged besides for hitting a wall etc...this is company wide. They are built completely different then the drag series wheels.

Looks killer Jason, what are you doing with your car now? (drag, auto-X, etc.) Last time I saw you I was at the track and you mentioned building up your motor. I figured with your plans, you were going drag.

Bogart wheels are fine for a weekend car! I have been running them for a while now and I don't drive easy on them. Looks good Jason!

dragaholic- I am still putting the Forged 348 block with a 200 shot when I get some time off of work. Its just for play nothing specific.

01 red ws6- I am not sure exactly how much they weigh? But they are a little heavier than the drag series wheels.

Sounds good. You gonna come drag it at HRP just to see what it runs? Do you still have drag wheels? I hope to have my car up and running with in the next couple of weeks. Waiting on new rear end, rear wheels, and rear Strange drag brakes.

Steve..

So the Bogart Road Race wheels are strong enough to use on the street?

The roads here in SoCal are infested with potholes and other imperfections so would a one-piece all aluminum wheel be a better choice?
