Bogarts are on!
After a night w/ my good friend Big F'n Hammer(which also brough out his friends, Big F'n Air Hammer and Big F'n cut-off wheel), I got my fenderwell clearanced and got the wheels on.
The backs are 15x9.75" D-10s w/ 275/60-15 BFG drag radials on for street tires. I'll have another set of rears w/ 28" ET Drags on them for racing.

The rear shot is a bad shot, but it was about 10* outside, so I didn't want to stand around too long.
I'll get some better pictures of the car from the back and some pictures of the "massaging" I had to do next week when I get the car back.

I bough them through Raceware, but I think there's a couple people on this board who are dealers now. I would've got them from PPO, but they were "restructuring" at the time.
The fronts were about $215 and the rears were $280. They weight 13#(rear) and 8#(front) w/o tires. I was told they're not for street use by the rep at Bogart, the rep @ Raceware and everyone I talked to, but Bogart claims the P1 series are stronger than the Weld wheels and Weld says the same thing about the Draglites. I drove my Centerlines for a year and never had a problem. The car doesn't get out much either(1000/yr). We'll see how they hold up for part of the Power Tour this year.
Well Brady, where I live, indoor plumbing is a privilage, not a right.
I should shoot another picture, but the HIGH here today is supposed to be 8*....it can wait.

Yes, but it was much better to sit in the house by the fire than take a picture in sub-zero weather. For instance, it was 4* today @ lunch. lol
I'll get a better shot this weekend...I promise.

Looks good mongse!
If anyone needs help with choosing custom settings or any other specifics please feel free to give me an email. I worked with the vendor PPO whom was an exclusive dealer of these at their first introduction to the f-body world.
I am a distributor and my pricing I guarantee to be the lowest. I will not compete with vendors whom I supply.
These rims are getting the attention of many of the fastest F-bodies in the world. Currently, I'm testing the P2 series and should have a working setup within the week. The P2 series should only be used strictly on the strip and used with cars that weigh less then 3300 lbs. These rims are unbelievable light!
I see people comparing the weight of one rim to another. Keep in mind, the overall weight is not the only consideration when considering a lightweight rim. It is the intention of the Bogart designs to direct the weight to the center of rotation which keeps additional rotation mass down to a minimal. This taken, not only are our rims the lightest on the market, but they also possess less rotational torque needed to turn the rims. I've recently had the pleasure to work with George Baxter and he was very surprised how light the outer portions of the rims were.
I'm the person whom actually worked with the Bogart family in designing these to be a direct fitment for LS1 and LT1 cars.
