Same wheels came on the LS's.

 

Sort of
2012 LS wheels are red
2013 LS wheels are gray
Boss 302S wheels are black

 

I mean, if we really want to get into semantics they are all the same wheels and the colors are varied.

 

Whatever, they are the same or they're not. No LSs have black. You can be right if you have to be.

Same != varied...

 

That's funny, the Ford racing dealer I bought them from listed them as Laguna Seca wheels, and that's what the box says...

So I looked at the LS wheel I saw last fall on a black LS, yes, they are grey. But Ford Racing is selling the black ones as 'LS' wheels also. At least I didn't say I had OEM LS wheels. Either way, I like black. I had the red 12 versions in my 12 Boss at track attack and it was a little too much for me.

 

Do what I did. I'll be switching the front springs to base Boss springs over the winter (11 lbs stiffer than LS springs).

 

The Boss is a special car, to be sure. I love to see them on the road, and at the track. I really wanted one. But wifey wanted leather, Sync, power/heated seats, etc. So we got a 2011 GT Premium. I knew I wanted to track it a few days a year. I went to a DE event, bone stock, to learn the limits of the car, and to see what I wanted to change. I added the following: Eibach Pro-System-Plus-Kit (springs, dampers, sway bars), BMR adjustable PHB, Ford Racing GT500 forged wheels, Ford Racing SVT Brembo brakes, Goodridge steel lines. Car runs amazing at the track now. At the Mustang 50th Anniversary at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, I participated in their track event. My car hung with and passed several Boss and Boss LS cars, no problem. For Brandon302 & 5.Monster - the Coyote motor does have forged connecting rods and a forged crank...very strong, the motor can take it.

 

Thanks for the info Pete, I thought we did but I wasn't sure. So what else is forged one the RoadRunner in the Boss cars? Cylinder heads, Manley H beams and cam shafts?

Now I'm also wondering what the difference is between Aluminator with forged internals, and the Road Runner. Are they the same other than Intake manifold?

 

Yup, black is definitely the way to go. Not a fan of the red either. I know it's a bit pedantic to nit-pick over the colors, but different is different.
Ford Racing website shows the black as 302S and the charcoal...just sayin'..
I'll leave it alone now...

 

How to make a GT drive LIKE A BAUCE!!!

My pleasure. Now your asking questions way above my pay-grade! Here's what I found on the inter-web:
ROADRUNNER:

ALUMINATOR:
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...e-M-6007-A50XS

 

Other than the intake I believe the Aluminator is a fully forged rotating assembly where as the Road Runner has a fully forged crank and powder forged rods and the like. I am sure there is a difference in valve springs and valves in the Aluminator.

 

Where do they sell these Boss 302S wheels in anything but black with the machined spokes? I know of the Wheel Replica's version of it but it would sure be nice to have a real wheel from Ford. I see in the pic that ace72ace posted that it has the factory center cap.

 

No offence to the Boss owners but. Its the same car aside from a few factory upgrades from Ford. With all the aftermarket parts available i plan on biulding my GT to pull some big numbers on the latteral G's scale lol. You can easily biuld a GT that will Handle like a Boss. I myself would have to downgrade my suspention hahaha!

I could have ordered this kit, but the 302S with Black was on sale for 728$ during the summer, so I went that route. My boxes say GLOSS BLACK "12 MUST 10", not Laguna Seca, must have got them confused. Either way, they could say Sesame Street, and I would have bought them, exactly the look I wanted. I dig the tribar pony center caps too, matches the nose and trunk.

I like the 2013 Boss LS wheels very much. Black or grey, both look sharp IMO. For those looking at this set, my advise is to try to get the 10" wide for the rears, with 285s.

 

They have that set too...

http://www.levittownfordsupercenter....rs-p-1445.html

 

Too bad they don't have the grey accents with the 10" wide rears. I like black and grey as well but I just like grey better.

 

My wife wanted all that plus the glass roof, so she ordered one. 2 years later, I got mine, win/win.

 

We both wanted all that. I want to get a dedicated track car for my "pure driving experience"
