Is this a good deal?

I know 18X9.5 is not wide enough for many of us who want to upgrade, but this may be a good deal!

FORD RACING MUSTANG BOSS 302S BBS 18X9.5 WHEELS for $1499?

[302 Hi Pro]

That's a good find, and is about a grand cheaper than I have seen them. Usually $595 to $725 each. (BBS Forged Wheels)

These would be fine for those who run a 275 to 285 size square set up.

I've been running 18x9.5 wheels with 275 tires and have loved them. More tire would be good, but I'm not racing, just doing track time for fun, and a 275 slick is plenty of tire for me right now. Those would be nice strong, light wheels for track time

just make sure they are Ford an not some knockoff, look for the part number on the back of the wheel, it should be cast/forged into the wheel

These are a very good deal. Original list was $640 each if I recall correctly. May need the lug nuts that are 5/8" size cone but 1/2" thread size to use on stock size studs. I hink extended studs are needed to but may be wrong on that.

This is a great deal and Rehagen is a legit Ford Racing dealer

I have these same wheels but in Matte Black and I paid $625 per wheel ($695 retail)

They are flow formed (not forged) but still a very nice lightweight high quality wheel made by BBS in Germany

They are TPMS compatible and do not require special studs and/or lug nuts like the wider BSS offerings from Ford Racing

I would take a look at the Forgestar F!4 in a ten inch for less money. Also the Team Dynamics. I believe both are flow forged.

Just wanted to clarify

These are all cast wheels using the flow forming process and are not forged

The Forgestar name is a bit misleading

Also, in case anybody was wondering:

The Ford Racing BBS are made in Germany

The Team Dynamics are made in England

The Forgestars are made in China and finished in the US
