there are better wheels out there that don't require you to clearance the brakes for the same kind of money.

Z28 the RT-S wheels are sick I love them but way to much for me I'm sorta on a budget I'm looking in the 800-1000 range but I want the best looking wheel for the buck

I run the Billet specialties with M/T sportsman up front and hoosier QTP in the rear drives fine to me. Gets a little wobble on rough pavement but that is to be expected. You can get the billet specialties for around $1000 but then tires and you got $1700 or so. Check out Race Star wheels they go for a good price.

The Race Stars are a great bang for the buck rim

the 15x10 w/ 7.5bs fit perfect no grinding!

Got any pics of your ride with those Rt-s??

Iv daily drove my Firehawk for almost 2 months now on my Bogarts. 17x6 and a 15x10. I had been running a 28x13.5 ET Street but went to a MT Radial because of a little more tread depth. I hear watch out doing this with Bogarts because of how soft they are but I dont drive on rough roads or take corners at 3 times the posted limit.
