Tell you what, just buy skinnies up front and fat wheels for the rear of any kind, put 'em on and go ape **** changing lanes at a high rate of speed on the highway. It will definitely put a brown strip on your underwear if you know what i mean.... Aside from that, you "could" possibly daily drive them (Bogarts) but you have to be extremely careful and you have to just use common sense, but many pple dont take THAT much care of their car or pay that much attention to how they're driving (everyone and their mother has had curb rash once in their lives but thats just life pple make mistakes). Pot-holes will kill you with 15's and tight turns will stress everything...so just make sure you drive carefully and as straight as possible IF you drive on the street. Its like alot of things, you're not supposed to smoke cuz it kills you right?, but how many BILLIONS of people do it ?? the end!

I have Weld draglights on my car now, and it does handle worse than it does with the Z06 wheels that I normally use. How it handles is not what I want to know about. I hate having my brake calipers ground almost all the way off
I would use the wheels for some driving and don't want to worry about them coming apart on the road. anyone with half a brain should know that you can't corner good with skinny wheels on the front. But there are people with less than half a brain on the road every day

^^^Very true. Bottom line is...if you like the twisties, 3.5's aren't for you. And that's any brand. I didn't want to grind my calipers either. That's why I ordered the Bogart's. Well, that and the killer looks of the wheel. I'm keeping the stockers just in case but I love the race look of skinnies and fatties. So I would say if you drive you car 20 miles to work everyday then have your weekend fun on top of that, you might want to stay on bigger wheels until track day. Then bolt on your Bogart's and hit the 1320.

Well, I've got the fronts on and they look/fit beautiful especially seeing as they were $127/each..so far im impressed...I cant wait until the rears come out...Im impressed that they are street legal, and NHRA/IHRA certified...If they work out I'll have paid $550/ for 4 wheels which is just what we needed...A low cost high quality wheel that fits our cars without any mods....finally....

I'm in the market for 4 rear rims but don't like the uni-lug holes. If these were availbe with a 4.75 bolt pattern I would give them a try. But then again how are they going to hold up on a car that can 60' ?

Its not really a uni lug...up close its like two lugs together..It kind of looks like a figure eight if that makes sense...Theres a specific washer to use for Ford and Chevy patterns...We'll see what happens when the rear come out...My car 60's pretty well...We'll see what it does...

I'm really only in the market for fronts right now anyway. I just want to know the rears will be avaiable when I want them. Probably next summer. Need a 12 bolt or 9" first.
