Camaro Performers 2010 Camaro SS
Once the new Camaro SS hit the road, we received a call from Nick Licata at Camaro Performers magazine. They needed wheels for wide tires, big brakes and lowered suspension, can Boze help? Not a problem! So we took on the challenge to build something special to meet the performance requirements. We all decided to build the 20″ Mesh 3pc. design with brushed satin finish on center with a polished lip. The car needed to be finished prior to the SEMA show and ready for the Opitma Batteries Ultimate Streetcar Invitational event at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park in Puhrump, Nevada. Nick drove the Camaro in all three stages; autocross, road course and the brake challenge, and the performance was outstanding.
Camaro Performers upgrades:
Boze – ZE Forged Mesh 3pc. front 20×9 and rear 20×10.5
Detroit Speed – new front and rear sway bars, lowering spring with stiffer rate and 1.5″ drop
Baer Brakes – big 6 piston brakes with 15″ rotors front and rear with the new Baer 6 S calipers
Nitto Tires – NT05 tire front 275/40ZR-20 rear 315/35ZR-20
JBA Exhaust – new cat-back stainless system
Magnuson Supercharger – Magna Charger 2010 Camaro SS
Centerforce – dual-friction clutch

‘68 Camaro – Cover of Super Chevy mag Jan 2010
On the cover of Super Chevy magazine (January 2010 issue) is one cool red ‘68 Camaro. This car was built by the guys at TCI (Total Cost Involved) to compete in the second annual Super Chevy Suspension & Handling Challenge. This special event featured the top aftermarket suspension companies that were invited to show off their best production parts, on performance Chevy rides 1981 or earlier. Sal Solorzano from TCI asked if we could build a set of Mesh 3 piece 18″ custom wheels to fit the TCI suspension package. We were happy to be involved with this project and to provide an 18×9 / 18×11 combo with silver powder coated centers. To check out the details on the TCI Camaro visit www.totalcostinvolved.com and see video coverage of this car in action.

We Honor and Support Our Veterans Today
This year the folks at Super Chevy magazine and Route 66 Motorsports teamed up with Armed Forces Foundation to a build the American Heroes III project a 1970 Chevelle. Last year vehicle, the American Heroes II a 1969 Camaro was sold at the Florida Barrett-Jackson show for $500,000. The funds raised went to the Armed Forces Foundation to help the families of fallen and disabled US troops and veterans, visit www.projectamericanheroes.net for details on this great charity. This year Boze has given the opportunity to help out, along with other vendors, such as; Baer brakes, Detroit Speed, Edelbrock and other companies. While Bill Jelinek at Route 66 Motorsports started reshaping the Chevelle, we got busy designing a special new wheel for this project.
The Hero wheel. A unique and exclusive design, featuring six spokes – each spoke engraved with a branch of service. Highlighted with a brushed satin and polished two-toned finish. Muscle car stance has a 18×8/18×10 combo.
All of us at Team Boze are proud to be involved in the project and grateful for the freedom we enjoy because of the fine US Troops standing guard.

SUPER CHEVY’s Project American Heroes™
Boze Alloys is proud to be a part of SUPER CHEVY’s Project American Heroes™. Team Boze is working diligently on a special wheel design for this unique vehicle and we are very excited about our involvement in this project! Below is some info from Super Chevy about the project:
“In 2007, Super Chevy magazine, in conjunction with over 44 automotive aftermarket performance product companies built a breath taking 1957 Chevrolet Convertible on behalf of the men and women of our Armed Services. The car was auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach Florida and netted a $130,000.00 donation to the Armed forces Foundation and their hard work and support of our veterans.
Once again, we will enlist the support of automotive aftermarket companies on our third build of an American Chevrolet icon, a 1970 Chevelle. With a donated body and the dedication of ROUTE 66 MOTORSPORTS, their talented crew of professional craftsmen along with the many manufactures whose logos appear on this page (see http://www.projectamericanheroes.net/ ) and THE TEAM page, we aim to build a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle in a very special way with the readership of SUPER CHEVY, and most important, provide the opportunity to help our US Armed Services personnel through contributions to the Armed Forces Foundation.”

Vince Carter’s Mercedes Van
Boze custom built wheels for NBA star Vince Carter. We took our Twisted Fatal 6 design and machined a 1-piece 20×8 forging to provide additional strength for this custom van. We then did a high luster polish finish with a ceramic clear coat. We also did a special cap engraving with the Vince Carter logo. See the pictures below of Vince Carter’s 2009 Mercedes Sprinter van with our wheels.
Vince Carter designed the interior of the van. Check out the basketball flooring….
