I'm interested in the possibility of putting Boss 302 wheels on my Mustang GT.  But I'd like to see what they look like before I spring for the wheels.  Can anybody do a really good job of putting the wheels on my car with these pictures so I can get an idea what it would look like?
Thanks!!!

I'll have to try. But these rims aren't sold by anybody; they were factory on the 2012 Boss 302.

Except your rear wheels will not look like that as the rear calipers on you GT are not the front calipers from a 302. He only had the pic of the front of the 302 to work with. The GT rear will be more open with the 302 rims and should have a nice look to it with the additional open space of smaller rear calipers.

I think your body color will really go well and look shape with the 302 rims.

Thank you!  I like it.  Now the big decision is these wheels and tires used for around $1000 or these wheels as tires new for around $1600 in a couple of months.

The last set look like BMW factory wheels on a Ford.

I like your stock wheels

The mesh wheels are the GT500 wheels, right?

They are a PITA to clean, but they look amazing on the new Mustangs. They edge the Boss 302 wheels as my favorites- I think the flat finish does it for me.  I wish the Boss 302 wheels had a deeper offset with the machined lip. If the Boss 302 wheels had the same finish as the GT500 wheels, they would be my favorite.

Either one would look good on your car.

It's your ride, but I like those stock wheels FAR more better than I do the Boss 302s you're considering.  By FAR.

I'm a fan of the FR500 wheels.  A buddy of mine has them on an 04 Mach1 and they look awesome.  Not a big fan of the mock Panasports on the 302. I know why they did it, but it just didn't come out quite right in my opinion.

The more I look at rims the more I am remembering by gone days. The current rims on the Stang remind me of muscle car rims from the 70s. Now the problem is I can't remember if its a Ford, GM, or Dodge factory rim I am remembering.

I think they remind me of my neighbor's 1969 Mach 1 when I was growing up. He was a professional football player and bought one the day they arrived on the showroom floor. Any male in the neighborhood under the age of 200 was in his driveway that night!

You should buy my Enkei PF01's. Super light, 18", clears Brembos, way better and cheaper tire options.





Let me know if you're interested.

That rockin Stang also needs an 18 inch lift kit, 4 wheel drive showing the front and rear drive shafts at 35 degree angles, and a short step ladder to enter and exit the vehicle

BTW, you forgot the NERF Bars!!!!!

I'm interested but I have a feeling that by the time I add tires to the equation with those wheels, I'm priced out of the market.  My friend offered me the Boss 302 wheels with low mileage Continental tires for $1000.  I could probably offer him $900 and be done.  The new American Muscle AMR wheels I've been looking at would be around $1600 with tires and TPMS kit, shipped.  I do like your wheels though.

I appreciate opinions!  I think my wheels are a little small, and they let my car down at car shows.  I think I should just stick to my guns and wait and get the AMR wheels like I really want:
