[QUOTE="legos_mustang, post: 12004897, member: 124495"] I would vote for stock... simply because if you get the LS wheels, your car is going to end up looking exactly like mine... which I think looks so awesome, I'd like as few on the road looking like mine as possible. :banana: I originally had the LS wheels on my 2012 GT. They look really great (as you can see from some of the other Performance White Boss cars here). I've had the wheels a little over a year; they are easy to clean and hold up quite well. The only problem I've had with any of them was hitting a curb accidentally, which I was still able to buff out most of the damage. The only comment I would add is if I had to do it again, I may have selected a different wheel. It all depends on what you want to do with your Boss. If you are looking at performance over looks, you may want to look at a lighter wheel as these LS wheels are extremely heavy (especially the rear wheels which are close to 33 lbs).
