Madlock Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 The ExtremeContact DWS finally arrived in 275/40-19 and 245/40-19 for the BOSS 302 Laguna Seca wheels I managed to find - which I had mounted this weekend as a second, and more comfortable set of all-season "show" wheels. Surprisingly, I don't feel a tremendous amount of difference between the 275/40-19's and 275/35-20's DWSs I'd been running on the Alcoa SuperSnake wheels in terms of overall comfort - which I'd expected, given another full inch of sidewall. Nevertheless, both are CONSIDERABLY more comfortable than the OE F1 G: 2s in about 95% of situations - while ALSO being Y rated. Can't quite make-up my mind about whether or not I like them - or how much, compared to either the OE SVTPP wheels or the 20" Alcoa's. A week of warm weather will hopefully help me decide.

Burning Blue Star IV Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think they look pretty good! I still really "want" those tires...I keep hoping that the 255/40/19 size pops up on tire rack as a new for "2012" size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they look great. I typically don't like something that wild but they work perfectly with your car. Actually they look better on your car than on either the silver or black boss LS. My guess is the attention getting factor of your car just went up. That has its pros/cons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I agree the thing that makes it work so well is the white and thin red stripes. Otherwise...I don't think it would look good. @Madlock - Forgive me if we covered this ground already...because I can't remember...but you were running 275's on all four corners previously? Did you notice anything different with that, if that was the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDan Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I like the look, especially for track days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hamilton Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Wow, that actually looks pretty cool. I never was a fan of the 2012 wheel colors but that combo looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Sorry not a fan, but I do love the stock wheels that came with your car. Red Wheels do not do it for me, looks Pure "RICE" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Greenwell Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I hate this color combo on the LS Mustang, but on your white car it simply works. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amigo GT500 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 It looks great mi amigo. I have the same color combination in my car and I thought to do the same a couple of months ago...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firekiller Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think it looks fantastic, I am not a fan of those wheels on the LS's but man they look good on yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whammer Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Actually they look better on your car than on either the silver or black boss LS. Being the owner of a Black LS I disagree strongly with your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullens Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 On any other color combination they would look goofy bit your combo really works. Me likey. Are they OE or knock offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUE 2010 SHELBY GT 500 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 sorry imo they do not belong on the 500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Being the owner of a Black LS I disagree strongly with your opinion. I saw my 1st BOSS on Monday and it was a red on Black LS. I thought it look real sharp. Much better in person then in photos. The LS wheel on the GT500 with red on white looks fantastic as well. I had actually put together this combo a few weeks ago using the Mustang Customizer that Ford has out. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
