Weld was great with my order. Jim said it would be 3 weeks... exactly 3 weeks from the day they sent the order to Weld, they shipped. 21 days exactly, lol. 2 days later I had them. Should look good on your narrowed rear... I know mine do Good choice! OP, sorry the thread has kind of sidetracked, I think I mentioned this once already, but your car looks great!

I spoke to Weld. They say 3 weeks on the RT-S from the order date. Sometimes the large mail order places put these wheels on stock orders and adds lead time to the delivery dates. You can have them drop shipped direct from Weld and save at least a week.

The backspacing on my rears is 4.5" but you will need a 7.5" backspace for a stock-length housing. Which do you need a part number for, and in black or polished? Thanks.

Would love to have a set of these w/ the black centers in a 17 x 11/12.

I think they would look killer on the vette...

I've never weighed Bogarts street wheel, but I know the RTS wheels are pretty light for a streetable drag wheel.

I like what I see and I'm looking for my new wheel/tire setup. How much clearance do you have with the 28x10.5? Any issues?
