Ok MM I need your opinion, I am torn. I am picking new track wheels and I am between two sets of wheels.

For reason that aren’t important to the thread these are the only two options.

I can get new silver Boss R1 wheels or used for one weekend Forgeline Competition GA3R's in high polish.

They are the same size and both weigh between 20and 21 pounds (crazy light for the size).

The GA3R is a 3 piece wheel and the Boss R1 wheel is a one piece. However I run time trials so reparability due to running into other cars isn’t very important.

FYI:
I also don’t like chrome or high polish things very much.


Here are some pics of the wheels.

The Forgeline 's in question (and on the car they came from):

I'll vote for the Forgelines. The others look exactly like what you've already got on the car, but a different color.

Otherwise, BBS CH, RK, or CCW Classic. :D
 
wow I am suprised it's 100% one direction!

I was leaning that way before I posted the tread.

I will pick them up Friday
 
What are the specs on all of 'em? The forge lines look much better, but they look really small. Like they could use another inch or two on the lips.

The Forgelines are backspaced and offset to the best confirguartion for a Mustang (handling) so even if I could change them (dimensionally) I wouldn't.

I was supposed to get a different set of Forgelines (GW3R's with Titanium coloerd centers and a polished lip) (that are even hotter than the Boss R wheels but that deal fell through). If I got to pick the style of Forgeline myself this style is NOT near the top of the list.


They are both 18X10
They both weigh between 20.6 and 20.7 pounds
