Cool

Well, I decided to stop by Mossy today and picked up the new '06 brochure. Some pretty cool stuff in there. Well,I know some of us were wondering about the 64W wheel option, so I thought I'd share.

Definitely looks like a polished wheel...no paint.

Yes, we got our brochures late last week. I am really excited to see these in person. These are definitely going to be added to my order. Just wish we can see a car with these. There has got to be one of Ford's Mustang GT's driving around Dearborn, Detroit, Troy, or some area in Michigan, with these on. Hopefully, if there is, someone will be able to take some shots with their digi.

I hope that wheel doesn't have a spinner on it as shown on the ford website since this is what I plan to order.

Well, there was this picture posted awhile back, but no one knew for sure what finish the wheel was going to have. Now we know for sure (hopefully). Even if it's not as bright as could be with chrome, I'm just happy it's not painted.

Thats cool.. how come we never heard anything about that new V6 wheel they added on the left? I remember seeing a V6 at a dealership with those wheels i thought they added it themselves but i guess not. Can u order a brochure off the ford website? and if u can will they give u the 05 brochure or the 06?

Haha, I was looking at the other page where they marked it as an 18" Custom Wheel, even though they clearly used the 17" Chrome Bullitt. You probably can't see it in the scan, but I can see the size on the side of the tire, "235/55...".

They also included the new Maruader style wheel. Not my cup of tea, but cool nonetheless.

They have all the info up on the website for the '06. I ordered one myself just for the heck of it, but I'm going to assume they'll start sending the new '06 brochures. Wouldn't make much sense to keep sending the '05 brochures, since a lot of people started to be bumped from the '05 to '06 model awhile ago.

Devon, I remember that pic. Someone on this site who went to the Woodward, said that Ford had the Chrome 18" Bulllitts on one side, and the other side was the Polished. I think, and this is only my opinion, that those wheels in that pic are chrome. Polished wheels aren't that bright. I understand they shine, but those are bright. I am hoping they aren't the polished ones. Only time will tell, when we see the wheels on someone's car.

Thats them wheels I am in love with. I hope that is the 18" Polished. They look incredible!! . Not too flashy, but still has some shine to them. Can't wait to see for sure.
