Does anyone know if the fan blades will have a chrome finish or a matte finish? Maybe it is yet to be determined but I doubt we will have an option between the two. I like the matte finish on the attached picture of the coupe myself.

 

Well, there was a guy on Ebay selling 18" fanblades not too long ago. Obviously there was much debate as to where he got them, but they were the fanblade wheels from the showcars. Anyway, the ones he was selling were highly polished aluminum, which I think is what is on the vert in your pic. The others look as if they are painted silver. I would not doubt if both were offered. In 1998, Ford offered the upgrade 17" wheels in both silver and machined face. No reason to hope they won't again.

From your lips............

I hope you are right - thanks for the reply.

 

In the my parts catalog they are a part # 6R3Z-1007-AA, and list for $315.32, in the description of the part, they are a ploished 18x9.5, and should be able to purchase them 8-8-05.

 

What parts catalog is that? Where did you get it?

 

FMCDEALER.COM, the catalog is G-CAT. You won't have access unles you're a ford dealer, that has been given access by FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

 

Is that $315 each?

 

Yes, but prices can always be worked with, that $315 is full out list price.

 

It would be gret if you could just order them with the car and not after through a dealer and save a grand.....

 

You would have saved alot more than that, you still have to buy tires. But look at the bright side, at least they finally decided to make them, for a while it didn't look good.

 

August.....darn. Thanks for the info!!

Oh, 18x9.5 I think that might not be correct??

 

August.....darn.

$315....darn.

 

killer 18" fanblades that will put other wheels to shame...darn.

 

I don't disagree, but it will be hard to come up with $2000+......double darn.

 

darn for $315 a piece you can get some slammin aftermarket chrome wheels like Giovannas

 

I'm getting 17 inch American Racing wheels for $150 per from Discount Tire. They are 17 inchers though, not sure how much the 18 inch ones would cost?

 

$315....no way...too much! plus tires....nope!! They looks splendid, but that toooo much. I hope that price is wrong

 

I bet motorsport will pick them up next year, if that happens they will be a whole lot cheaper. I will not wait that long, they will be mine, my mustang is worth it.

 

I actually offered the guy on E-bay $150. ea for them (After aution had ended).......He did'nt answer back. They were used.....probably off a mule.

 

I live in Peoria AZ, and have seen a sonic blue, and a red fire test mules with the 18's, they look very nice. I wish I could get them sooner, but just like the car, it will be worth the wait.
