Wheel Options for the 2012 Boss 302
#101
Gotcha. Seriously, with your black stripes I think the black wheels look good. I didn't think the black wheels went well with the white stripes so I changed mine the first day I owned the car. The stock high gloss wheels look dirty after a trip around the block where gunmetal won't look as dirty. Here's a photo of mine which aren't quite gunmetal but are close.
Q: where did u get the "Ford Racing" logo?.....that looks cool...

I purchased the wheels tires and sensors as new take offs from Dean Martins 2012 302S race car when my car had about 200 miles. Made a great up grade for me. I also picked up his Recaro Boss seats & dash gauge pod as he was getting the car race preped for the 2012 series. This spring it will get a LS splitter that I picked up from a former LS owner new in the box. I think it will look tough.

I realize this is an old thread, but for what it's worth, the 2012 LS wheels are Race Red, not Orange - as are the accent areas on both the Black and Ingot Silver 2012 302 LS.
I love 'em. Not only do they look terrific on the 302 LS, but they make a great and great-looking set of street wheels for a Red on White GT500.

Looks GREAT!! I doubt that I am going to lower mine. It handels so well the way it is I hate to upset anything. I have a 95 GT that is so low I need to be careful every where I go. I am even worried about the LS splitter hitting.
I think I may go with a 50% tint on the window it would look cool.

For what it's worth, I love the look.
I would love to throw the red LS wheels (if they're actual race red) on my RR boss, but I think it would look a little too over the top. That black is perfect for a PW, though. Spot on.
I might consider throwing those same wheels on this summer, we'll see how the money/tire situation is then.

I have a 2013 Boss 302 and just finished Whiteline rear suspension, upper/lower control arms, heavy duty brackets, panhard bar and brace. Started reading about light weight forged wheels, and how they reduce sprung weight and therefore cause shocks/springs to respond faster, improve handling. Ford Racing just released these 19-9, 19-10 inch , forged wheels, 20 pounds each. Stock wheels 32 pounds each. For my GHIG color, I chose bronze/gold. I've included a pic. What do you guys think???

I've seen the wheels at Ford Racing, Tirerack, and Discount Tire, priced at $5-800.00. Hillbank Motorsports is a Distributor/Dealer for BBS, and Ford Racing. BBS make wheels for Ford Racing. Hillbank's price is much cheaper. They can ship anywhere, and supply a valve stem/sensor kit cheap, Ford wants $500.00 for the kit.
www.hillbankmotorsports.com, 1-888-445-5226/1-949-900-1960. Ask for Ashton or Mike.
