Voted for options 1 and 4.

I think the regular B302 wheels are awesome, they're a step up (IMO) from the Saleen PJ wheels, which were awesome in their own right.






As for the LS wheels, I think they are alright (in design, not so much in color choice). I'm not sure they fit with the Boss 'theme' so much, but I'm sure their weight adds to the performance aspect of the LS package.

I don't like the regular Boss wheels at all except for them being black. I like the LS wheels except for the added red/orange. Give me some LS wheels in a dark matte color or a completely new style. I'm partial to a more old school 5 spoke look, though...

The Brembo package wheels on the GT are better looking that what Ford supplied for the Boss. I'd love to see a version of the race BBS wheels on the Boss 302 R

Yes, the PJ wheel looks way more muscular and modern, the stock Boss 10 spoke is too flat, kind of reminds me of a model-T wheel. like this

Something more modern looking like the Boss 302R wheel would be nice, maybe gunmetal or satin black

I love the Laguna wheels.
I think for the car that its on, they work...

If I was buying them for my car, I wouldn't want them colour accented.
Either gun metal or same colour

Sorry - original post should have read "I'd love to see a version of the race BBS wheels from the Boss 302R on the street Boss 302."

Wow, a lot of people do not like the orange wheels on the LS model, doesn't Ford do similar market research before releasing a product, or do they just make these decisions based on a few team members input. Looks like it's about 50/50 on the standard wheel.

I think it's funny that people don't like the LS wheels. Remove the color and there's like a 5% difference in those wheels and what's on the GT500, which people do like.

Btw, +1 to the 302R wheels. I also think some RTR's would look GREAT on the BOSS.

Voted for options 1 and 2. I like the standard Boss 302 wheels the way they are, but I'd also like to see them in gunmetal or silver.
