I have taken delivery of my completely optioned out 2005 GT including the upgraded wheel option. It might just be me but I do not like these wheels at all. I would have much preferred the standard bullitt style wheels. If anybody is interested in trading the standard wheels for the upgraded wheels I would love it. Also, if you would just like to upgrade your V-6 we can work something out. I hope it is okay to put this type of post on here. Sorry if that is a problem.

We ordered the first with Bullitts. Although the one we purchased has BMAW and they are starting to grow on me. Most likely in the spring we will purchase different wheels and tires. May sell the factory ones. See what comes along.

this is kinda on yet off subject but too anyone that has the v6 car have the spinners on there i am asking because i have ordered a GT and i was thinkin on purchasing the spinners for the bullitt, but the other night i seen the spinners in person on a V6 and they only had 3 on there i asked the dealer what happend and he said someone stole it. They pop off real easy i thought they maybe screwed in from the back with the wheel off or somthing, but they just simply pop on and off so now the dealer is taking them all off at night to keep the rest from being stolen.

Reminds me of a Mazda dealership I went to a while back, they had removed all the rotary shifter ****. Apparently they were getting stolen.

i was going to buy a set but if they simply pop off that easily then i believe i will spend my money on sumthin else for the stang...i told my wife that if i did buy them you could only use them for show only...and to not leave them on while your parked at work or something

I'm getting them on my Bullits, I'm in secured parking at work, and at home it's in the garage, so I'm not too worried about theft. If they are really flimsy though, I just may put a little loctite on them to keep them in place. Providing they don't get in the way of wheel removal.

the dealer showed me after i questioned it and even he was a bit surprised on how easily they just come off....i sighed and was like wow i am glad i seen that now before ordering them for my GT and as much attention these cars are allready going to have for awhile you just know some one will be stupid and try and tug on the spinners...i figured they screwed in from the back so i purchased the locking lugs that way no prob but they have like a spring clip in the front and just snap on
