Rotary forged, are spun at high rpm till cooled. Alligns molecules to make wheel stronger, I think. If you want to see the wheels in correct size, go to BBS website. www.bbs-usa.com Then go to www.tirerack.com They're priced at $655.00 each, but tirerack does not have bronze, or machined. As I said earlier, Hillbank is alot cheaper, and has all the colors/finish available. Real racing wheels, as used by Ford Racing, are rotary forged, lightest and strongest. I checked again today, and I was wrong, TSW does'nt have spin forged wheels, at all, only BBS makes them. Hillbank is still the lowest price for spin forged BBS wheels.

Go to www.tirerack.com and search wheels for 2013 Boss 302, you'll get 2 pages of wheels, the correct wheel is BBS, but Tirerack doesn't have correct 19-9, 19-10 sizes, or colors. Hillbank has all sizes and colors/finishes.

Hillbank doesn't show any BBS's, but they do have TSW Nurburgrings in 20x8.5 and 20x10: http://www.hillbankmotorsports.com/2...heels-1-2-3-4/
How do you quote prices for wheels from a completely different size/model? Do you not know the exact model or model name? Can you provide a link like I did above?

Hillbank doesn't show Boss 302 wheels on their website, but they do have them, the wheels are BBS Model CH-K. They have 18, 19, and 20 inch wheels. www.bbs.com

Yeah, was thinking the same thing but those rims do look nice. They do look ressemblem the TSW Nurburgrings only with thinner spokes. They look a lot like VARRSTOEN ES442, which don't have the right offset. Any thoughts?

Wrong. American muscles brand amr has replica wheels. They also in fact have tsw nurburgrings and its what you pictured above. If it was a ford racing rim, it wouldn't say tsw on it.

Rotary forged is nowhere near as strong as forged, just a marketing term.
Forged is expensive, only slightly lighter than rotary forged, but several times stronger. Basically you get what you pay for.
If you have a lot of sidewall, you can get away w/ cast wheels. However if your at 35 or less than Forged wheels would make sense, if you have potholes or roadwork around you.
There are also differances in manufacturing. I'm sure a wheel made in Germany will probably be stronger w/ better QC than a PRC wheel.

Here is the TSW rotary forged GT 500 pattern 19-9, 19-10 Bronze, wheel. It's 24 pounds, BBS is 22 pounds. Both are rotary forged, and they look to be identical. BBS is made in Germany. TSW might be England or Australia? Ford Racing doesn't make their own wheels, possibly TSW and BBS supply them with wheels? IMO, they are equivalent quality, strength, weight, and either would be fine for my car.

Now, I have to find tires in the right sizes for these wheels. Toyo R888, not the right size, P Zero Corsa, too expensive, Nitto or Yokahama, look like maybe best street/track tire?

Why do you keep posting bad info?

In his defense the TSW Nurburgring and the BBS ford racing pattern do look almost identical, with the Y shaped spokes.

Check your "facts" again
Don't beleive you could be more confused...There is no 19x10 TSW Nurburgring, there is a 19x9, BUT NOT IN A 2010+ fittament. Want to try again?
