Default Real Racing Drag Wheels

Has anyone heard of these wheels? I was looking at the 13 x 8 for $162ea which isnt too bad compared to welds/bogarts, looks pretty decent too. Will a 4" backspace be enough to clear integra brakes?

Reasonably heavy rims but you get what you pay for, I suppose.

They dont look too bad. May be a bit heavier to withstrand more abuse.?? the BOGARTS bend very easy. I would give them a try thats how all rim trends get started.

Very reasonable for the money IMHO. It nice that you can really customize the size for your specific application.

Most wheel companies are like this. the Bigger companies like Weld, Centerline, etc are impossible to get custom wheel sizes.

We do the Custom Bogarts all the time. from diff backspacing to custom bolt pattern. Bogart

Really? so would a regular tire shop (ie..America's Tire Co, Firestone..etc) be able to mount and dismount slicks from bogarts? or do I have to worry about them ******* them up?

Ask around and see if they are familiar with mounting those type of slicks. Not just any tire shop can mount these wheels. Look for a place that has a special type of mounting machine that does not touch the Rim when mounting the tires so it doesnt damage the wheels.

A high end tire shop that mounts like the 20" expensive wheels should have a machine that can do the job.
