'Boss' wheels

[darrenh]

I've never seen any up close, and don't know too much about the brand as a whole.

a) Are they 'too' cheap, and therefore poo?

b) Will they last?

c) I'm very concious of over stepping the 'Boy-racer' mark... is the brand 'chavvy'?

Any advice would be grand, as choosing wheels has taken me nearly 2 months now

BOSS!!????? You being serious, those wheels are...... only joking
To be honest, if the wheels look good on your ride, who cares?

From what I've seen, Boss do make more budget wheels compared to some other companies. But if you find a set that look nice and suit your ride, then I wouldnt worry mate. We all have different tastes and ideas on what looks good.

However, I recently bought a set of new Alloys for my Ibiza - cost me £800 (dont ask!!) - and I've kerbed THREE already (again dont ask. lol). Quite a soft alloy compound it seems. So price doesn't necessarily mean they will be stronger.

....you can buy tyres nowadays that can help save your alloys, as they have a thicker rubber bead around the outside, that helps prevent kerbing, to an extent. Bit more expensive, but not as expensive as having to replace a damaged alloy

All the best with whichever wheels you go for!
