Any business out there that would make them? Would like some Bogarts but not sure if that ave. is dead since socal is out of business.

You can order direct from them! And they are actually cheaper than socal for me. (though, I got mine from Danno.)

Yup, you can always buy direct. Get the billet centercaps if you go with Bogarts, I love mine:

Man those are sweet! What sucks is I would be tempted to drive them to a cruise or show for them to get seen. Wonder if you were careful....if....

If it was local, really local, no highway driving, side streets only where you can drive nice and slow, it *might* be ok. But even then, I don't know if I'd risk it. The Real Pro's that Rob posted the link for are a lil more streetable, but not quite as purdy as the Bogarts, imo (and not as light, but only by a few lbs, nothing crazy).

Yeah, doesn't sound worth it.

My biggest concern would be emergency braking and maneuvering. You could probably drive safely enough to avoid potholes and whatnot, but if you had to try to avoid an accident or whatever, the fronts don't give you enough braking power and probably wouldn't hold up to any kind of sharp turns.

I wouldn't say out of business...just not filling orders or giving money back...

That's a shame. He was a nice guy...

Things may get better, who knows. I just know that there have been several people having problems getting in contact with him regarding their orders. Nothing I would want to take a chance on right now though!
