Man I really like the style of a couple sets of bogart wheels.

The SS':http://www.bogartracingwheels.net/images/wheel%20pics/p1b-ss-med.jpg

and the Alumalite's http://www.bogartracingwheels.net/images/wheel%20pics/p2b-alumalite-lrg.jpg

The problem is I'm not dropping $1200-$1600 on a set of race wheels like that for a DD. So I'm trying to find something similar in a knockoff/center line. So far the only thing I've found as the 5 spoke much larger than those wheels and the small 5 spoke is what I like so much about them...

Anyone know of someone who makes a cheap version of a wheel that style?

i wouldn't drive race wheels on the street. they can't handle the loads and will break.

I bet those are heavy SOBs. If you are buying for the look, that's fine. But if you actually want race wheels, I would keep looking. Maybe some Centerline Convo Pros?

Edit, yea - they are. Weights for 15x8s

AR23s = 20lbs
Convo Pro = 12lbs
Weld ProStar = 12lbs
Weld Draglite = 13lbs
Bogart Classic Star = 11lbs

Yeah and the price tells the story. The convo pros are $190 a wheel vs $90. I'm not super concerned with the weight considering I'm ditching steel wheels anyway and it is a DD.
