15x10 with a 7.5" backspace if i remember correctly. ask forensicsteve he has a set on the back of his.

15x10 Holeshot Wheels are as good and about 100 dollars CHEAPER per wheel. If you can wait, Greg Weld is coming out with direct bolt on 15x10 wheels later this month and will be about 300 dollars CHEAPER than Bogart!

Bogarts are the way to go.
I run a 15X10 on the rear and 15x3.5 on the front.
I run a 275/60/15 MT ET Street Radial and cut consistent 1.4X sixty foots.

Greg Weld has been saying they were going to release their wheels since sema of last year, and now with Greg passing away, Boyd Cottington Jr. is in Charge and I don't see those wheels being out till late '09.

You won't beat Rich Borgarts attention to detail, quality or craftsmanship. They are pricey but you get what you pay for.

We have 15 inch Bogarts all around. MT skinnies on the front and Hoosier full slicks on the rear.

btw, how'd your car fair through the hurricane? Hope she made it alright!

Think it's OK. It's locked up in the garage and apparently house faired quite well given the circumstances. Understand also that area is very heavily patrolled by local police and National Guard, with a strict curfew in place.
