BOZE Stingers or INTRO VRods....it's time to choose..

Alright, I'm seriously thinking of either getting BOZE Stingers or INTRO Vrods. Both are nice, quality wheels. 19's up front and 20's in the back. It's amazing how bigger wheels tuck with the new air ride set up. I'm curious to what you guys think. So...which set?

Hey Sickness! Between the 2, definately the Stingers. Here is a similar wheel to the Stinger, thats what I went with. They also have an hidden valve and a rolled lip. Top notch 3 pieces wheels.

Just ask if you want more pics but the car is not done yet, so no "cool stance" pics. They are Bonspeed's Intense 5.

Re: BOZE Stingers or INTRO VRods....it's time to choose..

Geez Spike, that looks pretty good man...huge lip for sure. There is a $400.00 difference between the BOZE and the INTRO's....I also have to cinsider the tires. So....I'll have to see. Also...I'll need to get rid of my current 18/20 combo...which might be a challenge...

I know what you mean there, custom wheels can get very pricy. You have very good tastes, whichever you go with will be look stunning. Keep us posted!

Off Topic: Do you have any pics of your airlines routing? I have a couple of ideas for the front line, but would love to see what you did with them. Back too! PM me anytime.

Get the Intro's! The BOZE stingers have been done, and I think that it would make you car stand out more to run something a little different.

Re: BOZE Stingers or INTRO VRods....it's time to choose..

out of the two, I would choose the intro v-rods. funny the v-rods were the rims I had intended to purchase before I bought the boyds, however at the time it came to an avaliablity issue and price.

however today I really like the foose nitro 2's and I'd look into those.. I personally think they're nicer then the two you've already chosen. they're the classic 5 spoke design with a machined edge to the spokes and the spokes flare out wider as they leave the center as the intros do, however the spokes are raised in the center giving more angles and light reflection. they are also within the same price range as the other two rims.



here is an ebay page I pulled up for more images, and the price isn't horrible either.. although I'm sure your going to go larger then 17's

okay..I ordered A set tonight...20X10's in the rear and 19X8's in the front..I still have to buy the tires. The wheels won't be done for about 4-5 weeks...so I have some time. Talk about spending a ton of cash between the airride and the new wheels...

I vote for the intro's. I like the lugnuts between the spokes rather than in them. Also, the ridge on the spokes just makes them look more "complete" than the boze's.

Can't wait to see the car...I hope you went w/ the stingers! I don't like the spoke design on the intros. Either way, I am sure it will look killer!
