comparing lenso to weld and bogart is like comparing Mazerati to Hyundai

welds or bogarts get my choice deff. Im running Welds though. bogarts are too played out for me

What ITR206 saide is true , the analogy is about right. I myself want the Welds, the Gold ones are Nice if not alittle heavier than some others but the Racelites are just that LIGHT and pretty inexpensive. Lensos are for the budget minded racer, I plan to sell mine soon and get some Welds, probably the racelites since they are soo cheap.

We run Bogarts...as far as being played out, I dissagree. I now think welds are the new flavor of the month and are played out. Pretty much every pro car runs those these days. They are awesome wheels, but Bogarts are less trendy these days then Welds. You can go wrong with either.

i said they are played out becuase i run street cars, i have only seen 1-2 street cars over here running them , Yes the pro guys use them alot. But in the street classes everyone uses Bogarts. Dont get me wrong i love thme , **** we got em on a few of our cars too, I just like the welds better .just got more of a flow to thme for me.
Either way both are bad *** wheels.

I like those gold welds, they're bling bling. For real though I like the way they look.

you guys should give Keizers some love too, they are nice, not too expensive and lighter than Bogarts:

To be honest though, if I was gonna get some new wheels, id get welds. You guys are right about them having more flow and new style to them. Plus They are easily accessable with spindle mount for the rear.

magnum front-500pr
magnum rear-300pr
mt 24.5-250pr
mt24x4.5-200pr

bogarts they are like TE-37's for race cars, they can never be played out.

Lenso's are cool for street cars cause they are a street wheel too.
