No Grinding at all. I'm Running a 1/8" spacer in the rear (probably could have just ground it, but whatever), and a 3/8" spacer in front. I also had to use the old style clamp-on weights in the front. The clearance is so tight stick-ons wouldn't clear the brakes.
Jegs had a sale on the rims a couple of weeks ago - $400
I shopped around online for the tires - $350 for the 4
Spacers + Mounting/Balancing was about $100
The whole thing out the door was about $850.

Very nice.
Compared to our Bogarts...think they look just as good, maybe better...way better price too. How much do they weigh and what new ETs do you expect from them?

Last time I ran the car it was bone stock on 18" street tires (the ones in my avatar). I ran a 13.8@102 spinning all of first. I've now got a CAI, Tune, 4.10s, full suspension, and the slicks. I'm hoping to dip into the 12s with everything I've got now!

I weighed them on a digital bathroom scale (so i'm not sure of the accuracy), but they came in at 22lbs for the fronts, and about 50lbs for the rear. I'm sure the bogarts are lighter, but I spent less on my whole package than what the bogart rims cost on their own

Bogarts are very very light and that is probably part of the cost factor.

Those looks great and the 15 inch look with these cars is really starting to grow on me 
I am seriously considering some of the new Racestars in the spring and going back and forth between the 15s and the soon to be released 17s.
