Default Boss 338 wheels?

I've been searching for new wheels and found these Boss 338 wheels. They kind of look like Foose Nitrous but without the rivets around the rim. I like the look of the Boss a little better because it looks cleaner/smoother since there's virtually no step in the lip unlike the Foose which has a step where the spokes are. Anyway, can someone tell me if these Boss rims would work on an S197? Take a look at the first link and check out the specs for the 18" wheels. Which of these offsets and backspacing would fit? Thanks much!

Leaning towards these gray spoked ones.

...and maybe with the optional 3-spoke knockoffs.

i know the boss 336s fit the S197 because i'm about to order a set from cruizinconcepts. you have to call or pm them for pricing as they dont have them listed on their site

I really like those rims alot, it's just too bad that they don't come any wider than a 20x8.5

Here's something similar in 20x10.

But that's how it is with most rims with polished lips and colored centers. The polished part "just ends."

I agree. I was leaning towards the ones with the 3-spoke knockoffs too. Of course I'll post pics when I get them. I think the gray with polished lip would go well with my color scheme which is white, silver, gray.

Well I found out they don't fit 05-up Mustangs so I might get the Foose Nitrous instead.

here's my brother-in-law's car with Foose Legends from cruzinconcepts, 20x8.5 upfront & 20x10 out back...very similar to the BOSS 338's that you were looking at
