Are wheels like the Monocoque or Bogart's worth any ET or RT in a high 11 second stocker?

Buyer beware on lightweight wheels especially fronts. I've seen several Bogart fronts crack and leak air.
I believe there's a thread on here somewhere about a lightweight wheel coming apart in the pits. |

We weighed a bunch of different race wheels and were surprised that there was virtually no difference in weight. Best bang for the buck is Champion Wheel, light weight, good quality, quick turnaround on orders, reasonably priced.

I've had Holeshot Wheels on my cars for many, many years. Great quality, customer service, light and probably the widest variety of styles and offset options available. They have a dealer network where you'd probably get the best deal from.

Beware of Monos and Bogarts...........I had one split half way plus in two
thru the lights at Autolite several years ago. Very scary ride and did a lot of damage to front end. The wheel was 10 years old in fairness to company! At very least I would remove and inspect from back carefully each few months for cracks and discard after 4 or 5 years particularly if car is 3000+ and does a lot of wheel stands.
