Z-Dreamer Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Well I called Bogart Racing Wheels today and spoke with "Rich" the owner, after sharing with him the needs, wants and desires of many of us at HybridZ, Rich proceeded to "Educate" me as to what his company does and for whom! First, DOT cert. is only required for Commercial vehicles 16" and bigger. Bogarts Drag race wheels are NOT reccomended for the street and will FAIL given time. They can produce a "street" wheel using 2 or 3 piece version of their Road Race wheels. These are KILLER wheels, check them out at www.bogartracingwheels.com. Wheel sizes are in 1/2" increments and so are back spacings! Four or five lug, it does'nt matter! Their most expensive wheel is $500 bucks and that's for a 17"X17" rim! Finally, they are a manufacturing contractor for several BIG name wheel companies, can you say "MOMO" and "MONOCOQUE". For more info call "Rich" at (619)596-7605. If enough people are interested, we could do a group buy! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Dreamer Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 Oh DavyZ... Are you listening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I'd go for a set of the drag-on stars (import) shown on their site. 15/16x10's w/ 3.5/4" backspacing w/ 4-lug to fit a '79 ZX pattern.. preferably If I could get a set for < ~$1000, I'd definitely get on that deal, either with mike or z-dreamer. Otherwise I'll just be looking for a good set of centerlines... -980mak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Dreamer Posted March 28, 2002 Author Share Posted March 28, 2002 Any purchase requests should be fowarded to Mike/SCCA, he can get a 20% discount on list prices. I'm just a info geek trying to expand our options! 980mak, Rich at Bogart Racing Wheel said the Drag-on Star Series is for "DRAG RACE ONLY" and will "FAIL" given time on the street. But "street worthy" wheels can be made, give them a call before ordering. I hope this helps! Rich was very helpful and willing to answer any of my questions.

DavyZ Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 Originally posted by Z-Dreamer:Oh DavyZ... Are you listening? Yeah, I'm listening! For the money I think I would rather give the Americans the money instead of the Japanese tuner companies. Still, it's going to be a while....still need a 240Z first...Mike D(73BOTIZ), are you listening? What excites me is the real possibility of having a unique, good looking wheel that will fill some wide fenders. Shoot, I won't even have to change to a 5 lug pattern after all.

Guest Anonymous Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I'm definitely interested in the 16" RR10. I don't know what width would fit in my Z though. Any idea what the price would be for a 16x8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
