I heard that race Bogarts are two thin to handle daily driven
Conditions and you have to pay twice as much for custom ones
That can handle daily driving so people never do it I hope I can
Do it someday tho

i have seen f-bodies braking wheels.

It would be absolutly foolish to daily drive them. Not saying people havn't and gotten lucky, but many guys have broken a wheel in not very many miles.

Its most likely the bumps and potholes that do it. its hard to bend a hoop on a nice flat track.

when you order them, you can request them to be daily drivable

I just didn't know if there were guys doing it. I called Bogart today and they said they could build them as a road race wheel (thickest material they build wheels out of) but there's no telling how long they would last before the wheel lip would start to bend. It's not the horespower or mph that kills them, it's the frequent moving of a heavy truck that does it.

Where do you find this track?!?!? LOL. Ours comes custom with potholes and other objects to avoid!!! It's like a road coarse/drag strip!!! Always a good time here!!!

I would think the horizontal forces applied during DD turning would hurt them, those forces arnt seen laying down 800 horses in a straight line
