i have a 12bolt at home but im ganna wait till this one goes i want to see what i can get out of this 10 bolt, prob not much more but hey ill see
I opted for Centerline Convo Pros so I wouldn't have to grind at all. I also only make it to the track a few times a year & that just doesn't justify grind my caliper or buying race brakes & definetly not dropping the coin for Bogarts.
Our Bogart's can be built specific for your car. They will bolt right on front and rear. They also tuck better than other options on the market. They will be the lightest, direct fit wheel you can purchase. Using our wheels will be like dropping about 50 converted static pounds off your car over most other manufactures drag wheels.
We have a very good resale rate so it is a good investment, in fact, if you can find a used set, I'd consider them. Just make certain if they are used, that they were designed for your car as just because the wheels is called a D10 for example, we can build them in a variety of ways with the same backspace.
Pricing varies according to builds. Give me a call if you would like to discuss your options. Our designs are not the most expensive on the market yet they are not the least expensive. Actually what you reap in benefits, if you purchased centerlines or prostars, you'd have to also purchase a k-member to equate similar weight losses. By that point, you actually spent more then what you would have by purchasing our wheels by themselves! Below is exactly what I'd suggest for a strip tire/wheel combo. You will reap the best track gains out of this direct fit setup over any other combination.
In the meantime, you can view many cars listed on our F-body gallery from the link below my name.
here's one of our setups which I thought looked rather nice. This one we named after one of the LS1tech board members.

^ that's one of the best looking set of Bogarts i've seen on here. i've been considering the floyd's for my SS.
One question i have for you, Steve, is what other wheel designs are there? i noticed a member on here with a white TA sporting a set he refers to as "GT's", which i can't find listed on any site. i like how they look too, but have only seen the pictures he posted. it made me curious as to what else may be out there.

Occasionally we create offspring designs. Customization is something that we boast. We want each customer to walk away satisfied with nothing but positive experiences. As I mention quite often, wheels make the car. It's one of the most noticeable modifications you purchase. If design/fitment and weight benefits are important to you, then we should be on the top of most folk’s lists when it comes to custom wheels.
Btw, they all look fantastic in my eyes (biased of course). Occasionally some stand out more than others. This is due to the person taking the picture using good lighting and or cameras.
In person, if you see one, if you're at the track or in a parking lot showing your car, no matter which style is used, it does get noticed and stands out above the rest.
