Boss wheels in other finish?

Do you think Ford should offer the Boss 302 wheels (19x9 and 19x9.5) on the 2014 Brembo Package GT in Nickel Luster finish?

I'm not a fan of the Boss wheels regardless of the color. I think Ford could have come up with something better.

Hmmm. Could look great! Maybe the black hides some of the shape though. It'd be interesting to see. Someone will do it eventually

I agree with Ford maybe finding a better wheel than the Boss wheel. The GT500 guys get all the good wheels. I do like the Brembo wheels though. I'm going to get the GT4 Reps and 275/40/18's all the way around as my wheel upgrade. Can't go wrong with lighter and wider.

Love the Boss. But the wheels are weak.

Those wheels are absolutely disgusting. The only reason they're tolerable is because the black hides everything. They look like hubcaps from a cheap 10-year-old sedan.

Nope. I'm probably going to swap my stock wheels out for some 2013 gt500 or Laguna seca wheels or some such. I've got the 07-09 gt500 wheels with snow tires on currently.

I'd vote no on the nickel finish.
They are OK in black, but not feeling the silver/nickel finish.
I actually prefer the black/silver LS wheels myself, may be an mod down the road.

The Brembo's look good in that color, but not the Boss. Black is almost tolerable.
But then again I want the Black Brembo wheels also

The Boss wheel design is a nod to the '69 - '70 trans am race cars. Should have been in silver though like the originals. Plus, I hate friggin black wheels.
