on an 04 what would be the smallest rims i could fit with shaved calipers?? i'm thinking 18's will fit now since i have 17's on the rear and the front disc are 1" larger than the rear, the calipers look about the same size
 
ok, i'll see if i can measure form the center of the hub to the outside of the caliper and give that to the wheel guy to see if he can find something to fit it
 
Bogart made me a pair of 18s for the front of the 04 will not fit the bigger caliper of an 05 or 06.
They are 18x7 3/8s. They will bolt on with no modifications to the caliper. There is NOTHING else that will work in 18" made by anybody. I have a pair of 19" CCWs that have to have the front calipers shaved to fit on the 04s, will not work on the 05s or 06s.

These Bogarts are the only pair in existance and that is beacuse he is a personal friend of mine. They are a real pain to make, as the process is very involved. If I can talk him into this it will be a one time deal.

I am in the process of trying to talk him into making more for some of you guys that are interested. One member has already given the go ahead for a pair to match his rear wheels. These save about 60 lbs of unspring front end weight depending on what tire you run. I am using 255x55x18 KDWs.
I am also a Bogart dealer.

Bogies are pricey!!! Super freakin light, but I called Bogart and they were hesitant to even make me a set, they say there wheels aren't meant for ANY street use. That and the price kinda shyed me away.

Standard Bogart wheels are around $500 per wheel. So custom one's are going to be a bit more.

For street use you will need to use Bogart's road racing wheels, because their drag racing wheels are NOT for street use.

Talk to Jack about the price. He'll treat you better than any other Bogart dealer.

Thanks again for my set Jack!!
 
It's because of Jack that I was able to get a set for my Duster.

Thank you again, Jack.
