5 x 100 wheels available in many rim widths and setbacks frm Bogart Wheel

[Bruce K]

I've seen several posts regarding limited choices in 5 x 100 wheels. Bogart Wheel claims to have his aluminum PC-B model in 5 x 100 in in any required setback and rim width. They look good and are claimed to be very strong (suitable for cars nearly 3 times the weight of Sevens). Available in polished or satin black finish. Several different models available. I like the one below because it provides lots of air in for brake cooling (and reveals the powder coating on your calipers, if you run Wilwoods, etc.). Construction is 3-piece with billet centers.

I emailed Bogart about weights and cost for my S2K. Have not heard back yet but think they will be in the same range as other "custom" wheels. It's not impossible finding wheels for the 5X100 pattern and required off sets, it's finding a set that is at least "somewhat" light that is afordable. Lots of choices when your up around $400-$500 per wheel. Since most non-"racing"

wheels are designed with enough strength to run on anything short of an HD truck and in more common offsets and patterns it does narrow the field. I'm running Team Dynamics wheels that were a bit heavy but pretty reasonable, however they did take over six months to actually arive, and then were not machined correctly for the center bore to fit the Wilwood hubs. Thankfully, it only took opening them up to the Wilwood size.

Thanks for the tip, hope they come back with good weights and not too expensive to risk on "offs".

Have you heard back from Bogart yet?

Guess I'll try them again. Been involved in so many other projects that the poor S2K is still sitting on it's miss-matched tires and and I didn't get to a couple of other mods to it I had planned for this winter. Probably just going to track it the way it is and do my best to avoid any off tracks due to the understeer problem of very old tires in front and brand new in back. Went from snap oversteer to slight understeer when I put on the new rears. Fronts had a lot of tread left and felt really stuck till I changed the rears. Kind of liked the oversteer better. LOL.
