Just wondering about some opinions on this matter. I am thinking about pawning my trusty Bogart Bolted R/T's and Hoosier slicks to switch to an "all out" track setup. I have been eyeing up the new M/T ET Drag wheels for a bit. They are awfully mean looking.






For the front, there are 4 choices on Summits website
-Wheel, Ultralight ET Drag, Aluminum, Polished,15 x 3.5 in.,5 x 4.5/ 4.75
in. Bolt Circle,1.75 in.Backspace

-Wheel, Ultralight ET Drag, Aluminum, Polished,15 x 3.5 in.,5 x 4.5/ 4.75
in. Bolt Circle,2.25 in.Backspace

-Wheel, Ultralight ET Drag, Aluminum, Polished, 15 x 3.50 in., Strange
Spindle Mount, 1.75 in. Backspace,

-Wheel, Ultralight ET Drag, Aluminum, Polished,15 x 3.50 in.,
Anglia-Style Spindle Mount
,1.75 in. Backspace

What BS do I need and what is spindle mount vs anglia-style spindle mount?

With that said, I can probably get it done by spending no less than a few hundred bucks as I can probably get some good cash for the Bogies and slicks.

I think with these 15" wheels, and some 28" MT Stiff Sidewall slicks, the car could basically hook on an icerink, and thats what I want.

To run 15" wheels with my Cobra rear brakes, all I need is some GT brackets and rotors right??

Anybody diggin these wheels as much as me? And would it be worth it simply to have a better selection of slicks @ my disposal..........because there's gonna be a lotta ponies on board next year :headbang:

Their is a huge section on slicks and skinnies on modFords. I looked at all 6 pages, wow their is a TON of info on their, pictures and all! I heard rims cracking/breaking in half with bogarts, it kind of makes me wonder when people pull a mad ass wheelie, hit the ground and the wheel splits in four peices....ummm yea I would say sell the bogarts plus i heard the price is a arm and a leg for a set, just my 2 cents!

I'll buy your rear bogarts if they fit an IRS...

I'll let you know Jeffy, they do fit the IRS perfectly, thats what I ordered them for originally, 16 x 10 with 6.5" BS :D

They have the 28" Hoosier slicks on them, with lotsa life left in em since I've broken like the last 3 times I've been to the track, they hook :headbang:

What would you be asking for the Bogarts when and if you decide to sell them?

I will definitely be looking to sell them in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned. The car is in the shop and I may try to get to the track one last time in the next week or two. I will stay in touch. Probably looking for $1000-$1200 for them depending on what tires, if any, that I would sell with the setup. I've got well over $2K in these between wheels/tires. The fronts are a little over $300 apice and the rears are almost $500 apiece :eek:

I would for sure get a 15 inch wheel for the back. All I did with mine is put a set of rear breaks off a 2000 GT and the wheels fit like a dream :biggthump And I also like those MT wheels alot!! My buddy has them on his camero and they are for sure sick looking!!!! :headbang:
