A bunch of recent posts on this one. We've got a Bogart wheel gallery for the wheels we've built for our customers.

No sense in discussing backspace options or wheel options unless there is something custom that you specifically want. We've got it all figured out for you guys. You tell me what tire you want to run, and I will setup and build the wheel correct for your application.

15x3.5 for front. You can only get the 1 3/4" bs. 15x10's for the rear and 7.5" bs for a Camaro, 6.5" for a T/A. If you don't get Centerlines or Bogarts, you'll spend a few hours grinding the calipers to make them work.
