Nice. I'm sure those are nowhere near as light as the Bogarts, but can't argue with direct fit at that price. Still not 100% sure what I wanna go with right now, but I'll keep them in mind.
I've heard a lot of people say that Centerline Convo Pros will fit without modification. Can anybody confirm this?
At only roughly $200 a wheel as opposed to the $400+ for Bogarts it's a good option for a lot of people. Although I'm sure they aren't nearly as lightweight as the Bogarts.
Also, SJM if you're still checking up on this thread. When you said...

Both our Bogart drag P1 drag series wheels and our Bogart street strip series wheels are bolt on without modifications.
What did you mean by "our Bogart street strip series wheels"? I see "P1 Billet" on your website, but I don't see any reference to "Street/Strip Series". Can you link me please? Also, are those any cheaper than the P1 billets? You can PM prices if you want.
We haven't updated the website regarding the street strip designs. We've actually had street/strip wheels for years...but the new ones are not like our older 2 piece designs (similar to other billet manufactures pieces).
The new street/strip design is a 3 piece design.
They look the same as the P1 wheels, just built differently. They are not less expnensive, they are actually slightly more expensive.
So if you like a style, look at the P1 section, any of those can be built to a street/strip design BUT they will all be bolted style wheels only. If you like a non-bolted design, we can turn it into a bolted design without issues. For example, we have someone that is intersted in the D6 wheel which is has not been built as a bolted wheel...but we can do it without issues.
The street/strip wheels are not as light but are designed for a street/strip application and have a 3 year warranty. Pricing is in line with welds street/strip wheels...a few dollars less, a little lighter, longer warranty.
SJM, What are the differences in weight between the drag (P1) wheels and street /strip wheels? What are the actual weight of each wheel (15" LS! wheels, Front and back)?
im getting the racestar industrie wheels when they come out which is in about 2 weeks

Not drag wheels, but I know some Eagle Alloys fit without grinding. The only reason I know is back in '98 I had my '98 TA and got a flat at home and threw my old 15x10 Eagle Alloys "Hammer"s from my Ford Ranger with dual bolt pattern on the back til I could get a new tire. They did stick out a hair but they got me by.
I had to grind my calipers down to nothing to get my Pro Stars to fit on my WS6. I doubt I'll do that on my next one, I'll just find some that fit without an hour of grinding and test fitting on each caliper.

Centerline Warriors fit (5.5 BS and 6.5 BS) without grinding and they are lite and can be driven DD without bending.
Pretty sure the Centerline Convo ET and Street and Drag Fuel (below) are direct bolt on - Centerline would be able to confirm if the backside spacing is the same as the Warriors. I personally wish I had gotten the 'Street and Drag Fuel' rather than my Warriors.
Yea Convo Pros and Warriors fit without grinding but dont' have the "ideal" backspacings for the Fbody. I like them though, especially the Warriors. A buddy has some new Centerlines that have like 10-12 holes in them, pretty good looking and no grinding. The 6.5" isn't bad, and works well on the Trans Ams with a little larger rear fender.

My rearend is a Moser narrowed 1 inch on either side. The Warriors on it on the back are 8.5 X 15 with 5.5 backspacing and IMO do not stick out at all.
I am going to switch to Warriors 10 x 15. The Warrior tens have 6.5 inch backspacing. A Centerline Warrior with 6.5 inch backspacing mounted on a narrowed rearend 1 inch each side is the same as a stock Camaro wheel with 7.5 backspacing.
If you were to get a 10 inch wide wheel with 6.5 inch backspacing on a stock width rearend you would hardly be able to tell the difference since the stock wheels IMO stick well under the fender lip on a Camaro.
I am thinking 15x10 Warriors with 6.5" bs on my next WS6. They have always caught my eye for some reason, and I just like the 6.5 better than the 7.5 that everybody else runs. However I'm wanting to run 28" or 325 drag radials so some rolling of the fender lips will have to be done probably and maybe a bit of BFH'ing.

Well the good news is that I don't have a rear end yet, so if I go with a wheel that isn't available in 7.5'' BS I can just get the rear narrowed to accomodate the difference.
