they guy had them made for a vette but they did not work so he said he was going to sell them for like 500 but im not for sure, he was going to sell them with the fronts and rears with tires

they weigh 2 pounds more than a bogart

Not calling BS, but how can they only weigh 2lbs more than bogarts? Is that with or without tires that the 2lbs difference is? Also, do u know what size tire that is and did they just narrow the stock wheels? I think thats pretty tight though.

I was there when they were weighed both had tires

Bogart was around 22 w/tire and the TA skinnie was 24-25 w/tire

They were going to go on a vette but they wont fit so they are going to go on a TA up at that shop, but they guy who had them made has found a way to get a different set narrowed and to fit on his vette

Thats sweet as hell. Do you know how wide the wheel now is and exactly what size tire? Sorry to ask so many questions, I just like the idea.

That's cool. I would really consider getting those rims if someone made them.

Just think the painted ones probably weight the same as the bogarts. Anybody have the tire size yet? These would look badass with some widened ones on the back with 315's. :D

Wow seen it all now, someone has gotten the stock tires wider and shorter now we just need to see the combination together.

If I'm not mistaken they just used the regular spare tire on those wheels :think: I don't remember though.

I would really hope/think Dano is smarter than that! Unless he just put them on there to show tires on them...and not actuly to use at the track.

Yes they did put a spare tire on one of them just so they could put a tire on, these rims are not for dano they are for RPM Motorsports:D

These look AWESOME in person.. and from my understanding, they can take practically any stock wheel and 'skinny' it...

send them an email... http://www.real-performance-motorsports.com ... i bet if you really want a set, they can find a way to get them for you :D

Topher is right...we can have any wheel 'skinnied' or widened for $100/wheel.

The turnaround is usually a few days.

As far as the tire issue goes, the regular front runner tires will fit, just need the size to be 16" instead of 15"....I am almost positive that Signet makes one:cool:

If anyone needs some more info, just email us like Topher said realperformancemotorsports@yahoo.com, or PM us, or call:)
