I would say the 15X10 with 6.5" Backspacing would be the ones eh?? 25mm offset... hmm?? I thought 35mm was the correct offset. It'll be sweet if they fit.

My 15X10 Bogarts have a 7.25 backspacing, and are centered perfectly in the wheel well. So I would think that a 6.5 backspacing would make the tire hit on the outer wheel well. :tdown:

No longer in the Sandbox
Bogarts for the S197 are 9.75" wide for the rears I thought.. Not 10"

I'll be waiting to hear back from GregWeld on when they have a rim pack that is designed for the S197. But the price is looking great compared with the other options and they are street rated

Looks like the ones on JDM's site are listed that way but mine measure 10 inches....

How light are the Bogarts compared with the new Weld Design Wheels?

Aye Carumba! That answers my question as to why Bogarts are so damned expensive.

I think your digital scale needs to be calibrated, or you're running skinnies on the back. :shock: My front Bogarts weigh 4.5 the rears weigh 12.5 !!!
sorry wrong..My front are heavier than the rears... They have that big azz spacer welded on it..

I'm sticking with Billet Specialties.
Can you provide some more details on your wheels? Part numbers? Do they clear the brakes? Did you need to relocate the rear sway bar? Thanks.

I spoke with Greg Weld on the phone too:shock:, and he's going to email me some specifics on his wheels. I'm researching all options...

Here's the link............ http://www.billetspecialties.com/item.asp?cid=16&scid=251&pid=940&rdir=1

I will let you know how they fit once they're here. They're not the absolute lightest around but they are ok on the street. If I decide to drive the car to Sonic or out to HRP then I don't have to change wheels and tires.

billetspecialties dont fit. We did the measurements and i called Bill at Billetspecialties. They do not fit. Maybe with spacers, but not as is. We would need to shave over half an inch off of our calipers or use some form of spacer. Gregweld wheels apparently do not need the spacer

I don't mind the spacer on the front. I love the way the wheels look. They are different and very striking.
