i honestly dont know man, i've been all over the net looking for a set if wheels on a 6 lug pattern for hot rod on but all i've found are mud/rock crawlers, and 17'' plus in size. i'm wanting to stay w/ 15-16's if possible. cragar d-style offer a 6 lug jus none skinny enough. the narrowest was 8'' wide. and i've found one set of drag welds but no price. so i'm just tryin to see what most people are using at the track and pics/prices if possible so i'll know what to look out for

This is just one style of the centerline billets, but this series is available in 15x6 and 15x10 with a 6 lug pattern and offset options. Pretty light and streetable unlike bogarts.
Billet Series - Star

I just bought a pair of these off the board for $100 shipped. They are heavy and will stick out a bit, but that's fine for track only use. If you order from the manufacturer, then you can get different colors.

Did you look at their other styles? They are the best I have been able to find with the right backspacing.

and a word from Bogarts FAQ
Why are Bogart Racing Wheels not intended for street use?
Because we manufacture Bogart Racing Wheels for a specific application (racing), we remove as much mass (weight) as possible, while maintaining enough structural integrity to be sure that Bogart Racing Wheels will survive through their intended purpose.
