Bogart wheels

Since PPO is "restructuring", is there anywhere else I can get a set of D-10's?

Also, anyone know the story on PPO?? Their website has been like this for a while, but there's still images stored on the site(Bogart wheel catalog pics)?

The only time my car's out is for racing...that or those rare times when I go get milk from the store...lined up next to a Mustang.

I was wanting to go through PPO since they're supposed to have the correct sizing for the 4th gens already. Hopefully, this has been passed onto the people @ Bogart.

Wink

As much as PPO probably wanted everyone to believe it, I'm sure it wasn't some special thing that only they had Bogarts that fit these cars.

Just give em a call.

Bogart's got the sizes. FWIW, I ordered mine through RaceWare. Here's the addresses that were given to me(for other to use in the future):

RaceWare: (215)345-7297

Speed Unlimited: (800)874-8655

McCormick Racing: (800)999-3724

If anyone wants to call PPO, here's their number...they ARE still in business: (412)445-5363

The wheels were 15x9.75" w/ 7.25" b/s and 15x4 w/ 2-1/4" b/s. The front DO have different backspacing for LT1 and LS1 cars. Not much, but enough.

I am the person whom worked with bogart to get this to work correctly with our cars. There were not any special mysterious calculations to get these to fit, although there were particular measurments that needed to be addressed. In addition, test fitting WAS performed with samples to be sure that bogart and I had a perfect working rim for our cars both LS1 AND LT1 cars.

PPO and I had a working relationship with components that I carry and sold through his name. His business is currently going through some restructuring therefore they are not taking orders at this time.

If you need to purchase them, you can purchase them through me.

You or anyone will NOT get a better price then what I can sell them for. Trust me.

IF you find a better price I will beat it no problem.

Give me a call or email me for assistance.

Steve
