I bought mine from Robg, who bought them from Paul Gamino. They are probaly 2 years old.
Since I let Fast Gator borrow them(BTW- They were worth a tenth...11.99 w/o skinnies and 11.90 w/ skinnies, no other changes..Back to back runs). I can not measure them , but I am pretty sure you are right and they are 16x7.

Vinnie, Yours are 16x7's that were discontinued last year. If your gonna go with 16x8's you might aswell go with the AR's and save a few bucks!!
The only 16x7's currently available, other than Bogarts(that I know of) are the Alcoa LTS wheels, which I have on mine.
I have a second set forsale if anyone is interested.
here are some pics:

I'm not sure what size tire Vinnie is running, but chances are you won't be able to run as small of a tire on a 8" rim as you can on a 7" wheel.
A 8" wheel is pretty big, you should run anything smaller than a 235/70/16 (stock spare tire size) and even that is reccomended for a 7" wheel. You could probably push it by going down to a 225/70/16,maybe??
I went with a 235/75/16 on 7" rim, I could have gone a lot smaller,but I found a deal on this size!
Also a 235/75/16 is taller(30") than stock tires and when combined with my 26" slicks and 2" drop shackles, it should help in the weight transfer department!!!

Red BOLT99,
I went with a shop called Great Lakes Truck in Saginaw, MI I bought fron 16 X 8 for $90. each and rear 16 X 10's for $90. each They are Egle alloys and are the same style you have they are what you call blems. Meaning they have a small blemish on them one has a little black spoy by where the center cap goes and the others look flawless.
I only use them for track and street racing any ways
For every day I use my factory L wheels and tires.
Just my .02 cents.
Peace, Suavy
