Nice wheels! I've always been a fan of gloss black rims. You'll have to post some pictures of your car when you get them mounted. What size did you order?
P.S. Sorry to hear that your having a bad day. I really like your username.. Maybe some of that will help lift your spirits?

Haha everyone always says that, but I do not partake in the holiday for which my name sounds like.

I got them from Paul yesterday in Matte Black. I will probably powder coat them when I get a bit more money, but they should look pretty good for now

For a second there I thought you got rid of your Boss for a white GT350. Then I realized you just used that pic for the wheels and that you got those same wheels. I get it now

Yes sir! I was really lazy yesterday so I just typed in GT350R wheels. They look exactly the same although a few lbs. heavier and the offset on the S197 looks pretty killer.
that's what I was thinking. Although I don't think for women it's called a shoe fetish. It's called a shoe obsession. A shoe fetish would be like wanting to nail a chick with nothing but sexy stiletto high heels on like a dirty stripper.
Yesterday I did something I originally thought I would never do. I replaced the Boss 302. It hurts to even say but it was time. With two dogs and a social life, we needed four doors and something more versatile. We have an '02 4WD Escape that has been awesome to us but as it gets older, we think twice about taking it on a long road trip. When I'm out of town for work, I hope her car doesn't have a major issue. So, we needed two interchangeable cars that fit our life a little better. So... out with my high mileage (62k) Mustang that's already cost me a new AC system at 40k and has given me plenty of transmission related issue... and in with a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.
We've learned we aren't very good at selecting vehicles by worldly standards, mainly because I pick vehicles that cost a lot vs their return in few comforts.
For example, the Boss has the base stereo, no leather, no bluetooth, no electronically adjustable suspension, no HIDs, or anything fancy. Just raw NA V8 engine with a Torsen diff, Recaros and a tight suspension to get the job done well (not to mention the amazing exhaust).
Likewise, the new Jeep has cloth seats, no HIDs, no LEDs, no self parallel parking but it does have locking front and rear diffs, electronic sway-bar disconnects, dana 44 axles, 410 gears, MT tires, navigation, alpine 9-speaker stereo, hill decent and removable doors and roof to get the job done well.
Although I'll miss the muscle for a while, I'll eventually get something to replace it more closely. Maybe a 3rd vehicle sometime in the future after a home and kids.
^ Krohn, Sorry for the loss. My only counterpoint to your decision is the fact that the Mustang in Boss form, really wasn't made for daily use (creature comforts, etc...) it was made for the track that could be driven on the street. Its shortcomings in that area were not its fault, nor did the manufacturer intend it to be that way. I think it would have suited your needs if you had a 3rd "family/daily" type of vehicle. I understand everyone's financial situation is different, so I understand and respect your decision.
Still - am sorry to see your Boss go. The Jeep will be fun... but is no mustang, or a Boss Mustang at that.
Drive that Jeep for long enough, and you'll be itching for a performance vehicle. Trust me, my dad and I shared a Jeep as both of our second cars (I drove it a lot more than he did) when I was in my early 20's. I was not a fan They get rancid fuel economy too

Nice Jeep and good luck!
Thanks. Yeah, my wife and I are in our mid 20s now so it's a good time to be a little more flexible. Mileage wise? I've learned to do my best to ignore that number. lol What's the ol' Mustang saying, Smiles per Gallon, not miles. I think it applies to Jeeps too.
