the reason why they are so expensive is because they are the lightest wheels you can buy. you get what you pay for you know.

you guys who wouldnt pay for it dont understand how they work. bogart makes one of the best lightest wheels around, and wheel weight is more importaint than anything else. when rim weight is converted into rolling mass, taking one 1lb off your wheels is like taking 4lbs off total when its rolling. a guy locally is selling some bogart 15x3.5 fronts with new M/T ET front tires for 500 bucks im sure he could ship them.

Thank you, at least someone with some smarts responded. You guys who admitiadly know nothing about these wheels should do some research before commenting. 15 inch wheels are THE BEST choice for a drag race type car, they are lighter and allow for a taller sidewall on the back tire which helps increase traction. Bogarts are great wheels, are very high quality and super light weight, the only down side is that they are a tad soft, so curbs and big pot holes will kill them.
