Thanks, T! [patriot]

After seeing pics of the '13 Boss, I'm loving the '12 more than ever.

What's the plan for the wheel and suspension setup?
stock suspension is already badass...and why change the wheels?

This.

The car already has an attractive set of staggered wheels that round out the look nicely... especially with the white and black.

As for the suspension, that remains to be seen. If I have any wheelhop issues like you get with some of the GT's, I'll probably change the rear control arms. I doubt I'll do much beyond that. The car is exceptional right out of the box.

I like the stock wheels more and more all the time. They just complete the look. That being said I'm getting a lightweight set of 18's for open track duty. The stock 19" tires run over $400ea.

Have you experienced any wheelhop on launches?

Sorry but those wheels look like Pooh. With the plethora of bad ass forged, 2 piece, and 3 piece wheels on the market the stock ones just don't stand up. Any DPE, HRE, TF, CCW, Rotiform, 360 Forged, etc wheel will being that car miles above the factory look. If your gonna get a baller ass ride, at least give it a baller ass set of wheels with a X11 in the back with a fat lip and a 335 tire.

I mean it will look good no doubt, but a nice set of wheels will make it look great

Wheels are a very subjective thing and you have a right to your opinion.

I used to be all about changing my wheel and tire combo but I haven't done it on the Raptor yet and probably won't on the Boss either. I like the wheels on both. Maybe I'll change them at some point in the future if I get bored with them, but not right out of the gate. The down payments alone are more than enough cash out of my pocket for now. I still have to keep some cash in reserve to finish my Fastback and pick up a classic Mustang or ten along the way. [Big Grin]
