How do you think they will hold up on the street?
Good, they were designed as a street wheel.

Cool, I hadn't had any luck with Bogarts, cracked three Force 5's with minimal, careful, driving on the street. I think i'm going with Weld's this time around.

Hmm..did you talk to Steve at all about them? From what I hear they are good about helping people out in situations like this. Bogarts, like Weld's Alumastars & Magnums, are a soft RACE wheel, I'd be scared to drive them on the street myself. But I love these wheels, they are a bit heavier than Bogarts, Alumastars & Magnums, but will make a perfect street/strip wheel.

No, depending on your brakes in the rear, you might have to take a fuz off the one edge, but that's about it.

Yea thats what I noticed that they looked to be a lil thicker. All three times they cracked right at the bead on the outside of the wheel. Its been a few years since I had those Bogart's but I did have to pay to have them repaired they wouldnt make it up because I drove with them on the street they said. Oh well.

those would look stunning with 3" knocked out of each side of the rear and a 4.5" back.
