If you are looking for a dedicated track wheel, then by all means, get the Bogarts. If you want something a little more affordable that you can also drive on the street without worrying about every little bump in the road, then get the RT-S wheels. I love my Welds!!!

17x5.0 Weld RT-S = 16.2 lbs.
17x10.0 Weld RT-S = 19.3 lbs.

Sorry, I can't help you with the weight on the Bogarts...I'm sure they might be a pound or two lighter.

Ok I verified the weight on Bogarts the front 17x5 weigh 16.2lbs and the rear weigh 19.2lbs. I'm just gonna go with the welds. They both look awesome so i know Ill be happy either way. The pricing on the welds are alot better even if you have to buy the lower controll arm.

Good choice. I'm not lowered and I have a ton of clearance. Just bolted them on and drove home.

Nope, no problems with the finish yet. But mine are still pretty new, only had them for a few months now. Mine cleared the stock LCA's, but it was very close, I only had about 1/4" clearance. I bought the BMR LCA's just to give me a little more comfort room, I'm sitting at about 1/2" now.

Is anyone lowered and running M&H 4.5x28 17 runners?

I think you'll be fine. I've never heard of a lowered car and Bogart issue. Worse case you'll have to notch the LCA's. Takes 5 minutes. I had to do minw when I went to 16's. Everything is packaged and ready to go!!!
