Josh, You may have never seen our wheels in person. Pictures really don't do them justice...the show-quality finish is second to none. Our wheels are a work of art.
For folks whom care about the appearance of their car, since wheels can make a car...another reason why to choose our Bogarts. The wheels truly are no comparison to a prostar or draglite.
Folks shouldn't daily drive on any drag wheel fwiw:-).

That is the single best looking F-Body I've ever seen with drag wheels on it. I love Bogarts as they fit without grinding but never thought they looked better than Prostars, but that deep dished rear is incredible.
What wheels and tires all around, do you daily drive on that setup and how has it held up, and what springs/shocks are you running?

They seem fine so far but I've only driven a few times with them on and havn't been to the track yet. I just took the car out of storage and have been working on it the last couple days. I'll try to get some more pics up in the next week or so.

What sort of 60's are you seeing out of the QTPs? If they are better than the MT Drag Radial, I am all over them. They look awesome with the sinister white letters.

The weight difference transfers into larger forces needed to accelerate, AND decelerate your car. You're stopping distances can decrease as well as 60 ft times. Some are concerned about tire wear...well both tires drag radials and ET streets (or QTP's)...you'll be lucky to get a season out of either one.
Don't get me wrong, the drag radial rear tire does have some benefits...I suggest to folks to try both and make your own determination of which one you prefer...tires are a consumable and cheap...so experiment.

I dont daily drive my car, and I know you're not supposed to drive them on the street
, but when I get ready to invest that sort of money in some wheels I want something I can slap on and drive a few hours to the track, race, then drive back on. I think as long as you're a smart driver it's not too big of a problem on most any wheel.I've got another good question for you thoughs Steve concerning the tire question. If you're running ET Streets or QTPs and front runners obviously you're keeping bias-ply tires all around. If you're running a drag radial in the rear though, what are some radial tires up front that would fit well on a 15x4 wheel so that you're not mixing and matching types of tires?

NEVER ever run a radial VW tire on any drag wheel front runner or for that matter on the typical F-body. No other alternatives at this point other then a bias ply MT (if you want to run a DOT legal tire)
Those are welded RT wheels.
