My Bogarts have held up for a few years of driving here and there. Hell when my Fikse's were getting reanodized for 6 months I was on Bogarts driving around on the weekends all over the place. Don't let that one incident with that Mustang (I think) make up your mind about the rest of them just falling apart.
I would drive slow on the highway and be cool in the turns. If these wheels were doomed from the start you'd hear/see alot more threads/pics of proof.

No joking about it Jason! Whenever you want to, give me a shout and I'll snap some pics for you. After seeing these pics, I was going to post that you needed some better pics to represent! lol


Peace,
Craig.
