BBS Boss 302R wheel

I'm thinking about a set of these for my track wheels. I wish they came in black but maybe they will look good just as they are in silver. Does anyone have some Photoshop skills to see what it would look like on a CO/Black Boss?

Well, look at the Boss 302R, shut your eyes and imagine orange instead of yellow.

Have them powdercoated before you put tires on them.

Just note that these wheels are designed for 5/8" racing studs. Would you need to get some funky oversize (large hex) wheel nuts in order to safely mount them on a street car?

Separately though, is there a point that are you trying to illustrate?

Lugnuts are non-standard for these wheels...Shaun or Rehagen reps may have more info.

Good point. I need to check that out.

I emailed them about that. I still need to be able to switch to the stock wheels for the street so need to know if the stud sizes change will the stock wheels still work?

Part of me is just wondering if I shouldn't just get the 302S and be done with it, but putting that much dough into a 15 day a year car seems a little ridiculous. Maybe if I lived in the South where track season never ends

Those G-Stream rear wings sure do seem to be the new hotness these days...

They are expensive though!

Would be great if they were a simple bolt on.

According to Rehagen these are a bolt on with correct spacers. http://www.rehagenracingproducts.com...&categoryId=74

Not sure exactly what's up with that.

Looks like the spacers are required on the SN95 not the S197.....

Buy it, run it during your normal season, then ship it down here to me in AZ for the winter months, I'll campaign it for you.

So are they bolt on for S197s?

They don't need spacers for an S197. The question is whether or not the stock wheel studs are long enough for the flange, and if the stock studs are the same thread for the lugnuts that are required.
