I have a silverado SS

Currently wearing 22"



They are going up for sale. I want a nice clean set of 17" wheels for street/strip use.

Before I pull the trigger on a set of racestars.

Wondering how a set of 17x9 with 6.5" backspacing is gonna fit???
or any negatives to the swap??

Smaller tire 275/55r17

Should be a nice light set up 20lb wheels + 35lb tires should be in around 55 lb's total.

 

If you have drums in the rear I would go 15x10-6.5bs...... Cheaper and better tire options..... If I were to spend the money I would buy bogarts, I think they are a cheaper in price them race stars and look way better IMO. Good luck with the search

 

Bogarts are definitely not cheaper than the Racestars. If I remember right the Bogarts are right at double the price of Racestars.

 

 

IIRC when I spoke to rich at bogart he quoted me for 15x10 wheels with "bolted" design to be at $400ish to my door. They may have been less, but not by much and if it was more, it wasn't much. Either they weren't out of anyone's price range, that's why I'm selling all my
5-lug stuff on my truck and swapping back over 6 lug to order a set of bogarts. So I will get exact prices for comparison

 

bogarts are American made and racestars are chinese made

FYi

 

$400 each that is for bogarts where racestars are half the price. Not sure why anyone would go back to six lug but to each his own. You can get a really nice wheel like a center line or billet specialty in 5 lug for a lot less than bogarts. I believe they are right around $250 or so each.

No question Bogarts are top of the line. So if you have the funds, I'd go bogarts but in a 5 lug version

 

I want a street wheel, kinda tired of drag wheels all the time
