sfadchi Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Would these work on the GT500? The 15x10's with the 7in back spacing? I run FR500's now that are 18X10 with a 7in back space. Seems like this would be a great alternative to spending money on bogarts. $85 a piece sounds good to me! www.diamondracingwheels.com : 15" Pro/Challenger Series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhighsd Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I know guys that run them on 03/04 cobra's. Hell for the price it would be worth a try, I know a member on another board that bought those but I never heard if he ever tryed them on. You will have to get the sway bar relocate kit from BMR to run 15" wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfadchi Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well I ordered one today! They are custom built so no returns. I talked with a guy named Bill who was very helpful. He believes they will fit but told me just to take one to make sure. My wheel will ship out Friday, it was $110 with shipping in gloss black powder coat! I will keep you guys posted, if it works out it will sure be cheaper than bogarts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red07shelby Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Are they steel? Heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfadchi Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 20LBs each, does not seem to bad to me considering I think the bogarts are around 16lb a piece, but cost over $600 a wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfadchi Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 :-( They do not fit! Got it in today, rubs the caliper on the front and top side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfadchi Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I ended up ordering 15X8 Summit wheels, no grinding or sway bar relocation kit needed. I will post up pictures when I get my new ET Drags mounted on them tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfadchi Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Awesome... Thanks for the pics.. Is there any particular reason you didn't go with the 15 x 10"?? Thanks I could not find an affordable 15X10 that would fit without grinding the front and top side of my brake calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomy63 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Will the 26x10.5x15 work on that narrow of a rim, or will you have them widened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfadchi Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Will the 26x10.5x15 work on that narrow of a rim, or will you have them widened? they will work just fine on the rim without widening it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfadchi Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 So the 15x10's from Summit will not fit without grinding correct.. Thanks Correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Looks good. What are you running on the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Stunkard Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I could be wrong as I did not go out and look at mine to compare, but it appears to me in the above picture that you have relocated your sway bar? Can you please confirm if that needs to be done for these wheels to fit. Thanks. The set up does look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
