Well all we can do at this point is hope that they are correct. when would br the best time to order them and can we order them direct thru greg weld or will it be better to order them thru summit? I am going to be ordering my slicks...gonna try out the new toyo slicks...supposed to be a stiff sidewall and a soft compound...got a good deal, buy one get one free (nhra lisc. member)

Maybe I read that wrong. They are to produce the 15x10 with 7.5 bs going off what they have now or did u mean that a 7.5 bs is a no go?

I would suggest getting a longer stud and open lug nut. Sooner or later you may run into that strict tech guy and not let you run, cause the stud doesn't come out the end of the lugnut.

Our Bogart drag wheels are the lightest direct fit drag wheel for your car. They are far lighter then street 15" billet specialties wheels costing only a few hundred more. Since our wheels are a drag wheel and our wheels are far lighter, using our wheels in comparison to their street wheels...you'd have to purchase a k-member to equate the savings that our wheels ALONE would provide.

Direct from one of the board advertisers, Billet Specialties newly revised LS1 fronts are NOT a direct fit. If you want to do some grinding like you'll have to do for their new fronts coming out, we can build them so they are not a direct fit as well. This brings our sets even closer to the same price you'd spend on their wheels.


To date, we still produce on the market the ONLY direct fit drag wheel specifically designed wheel for your car.

You're right, the 8's do fit, though really aren't fitted best for the backspace requirements. Those and weld prostars are good alternative economy drag wheels...both being lighter then billet specialties street wheels. For drag racing, I'd use any of those over a heavy street wheel.

Our wheels are the lightest direct fit wheel in 15x3.5's or 4's and 15x10's.

love mine 15x9 with 6.5" back spacing. Used stock lugs and no spacers. If i would of used a small spacer on the rear i would not of had to grind at all. I spent maybe 2 mins on each caliper!. Over half the cost of bogarts and i dont have to worry about them bending as easy as bogarts on my daily driver.

I think its funny how any cheaper drag wheel like Welds,GW,Centerline, and such someone has to post up bogarts. Not everybody has a ton of $ to blow on a set of bogarts! This thread is on cheep wheels that are only $100-150 each. Im sure if money was no object people wouldn't get the cheep wheels. If i had my choice i would get bogarts. But just not in my price rang. My wheels can do everything thay can do and stronger on ther street.
