with the exception of the rr bolted rt's, I think everything looks better than the bogarts. bogarts are just cheap looking like draglites and prostars. I know they are light and well built, but I just don't care for the bogart look.

Our P2 wheels are definitely not a street wheel, they are our lightest series wheels designed directly as a track-only wheel. I would never suggest to anyone to use this type of wheel as anything but a drag only wheel only on the track. Those P2 front runners are only 6.75lbs.

Our P2 wheels are unlike our P1 series wheels which use a different process, materials and design.

Camaro396, the rear wheels looks great. It's a shame the front runners have only 1.5" of backspace. (not sure if you were getting them or not). +

sr71, our RR bolted rt's are the exact design as our P1 bolted rt's, so I'm a bit confused regarding your response. Not every wheel design is for everyone, I respect your opinion.

The 4" wide fronts at 1.5" backspace will have the same outer lip location as the 10" rears at 7.5" backspacing. The outer wheel flange is 2.5" outboard of the mounting surface of the wheel. A 4" front at 1.5" backspace looks perfect with the 10" rear at 7.5" backspace. The outer section of the tire will be just flush with the fender lip.

Also, race wheels will accept a 5/8" stud.

that pic of the ta with the 17x7's and 17x11's bolted rt's had to be the most badass looking set-up that I have seen in a long time. you know the one. those large diameter bolted centers look wicked. I just wish that I could afford them in a 17x11 rear and 2 pairs of fronts. one pair of 17x9.5's and one pair of 17x5's for the strip. ahhh, dreams.

but, that is the only set of bogarts that ever impressed me.

Got mine in today, total bill was $1,718 shipped. That hurt the wallet.
I see how much the fronts weigh tomorrow.

I don't know how 1.5" of backspace looks ok? I've been having a discussion with another board member that feels 1.75" is too small on a 4" wheel. I can see why he feels this way. I strongly feel 1.75" is the minimum good looking configuration.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but praise for a new design for folks to consider. They are very nice looking and a nice addition for the Mustang and Camaro crowd looking for a street wheel, but I don't agree with 1.5" being acceptable sizing for the masses. I understand why they are designed as such and I know it can't be altered due to design.

I feel many aren't going to feel comfortable with it. Many people do not like the look of a prostar using a 5/16" spacer on a 1.75" wheel this is almost the same. From the front or rear shot, the wheels will stick out like a sore thumb. I strongly feel that fender lip interference on the fronts will be an issue as the tire will be sitting under the lip, not behind it.

Shots directly from the side or with an angled front wheel are the pictures people will probably post.

Generally speaking on a stock F-body, backspace and fitment typically is 1.75-2" for the front. For the rears, 7-8".

Yes stock studs will work, although I'd recommend ARP's extended ones. Also, you will have to use the short shank Weld Racing 12mm lug nuts.
