Wondering if these 64W's are going to be chrome bullitts or polished bullitts or what exactly. "Premium" to me means nothing. Of course the fanblades are being described as polished but they definitely don't look polished to me.

Fanblades are polished around the lip and the sides of the blades. The center of the blades are painted. It looks great. Trust me, I have a set

Pics below are of my car except the last one which is RMac's (Ryan's) car. That is a closeup of the rim.

Personally I like the 64W bullitts better but I have the 64E fanblades on my order. I do like the fanblades but may want the bullits instead. Anyone know when "late availability" is exactly? I can still change my order if I decide I can wait an extra month or so. But if it's 3 months or something like that then I will go insane on the wait.

That is a really good pic for the fanblades; shows them off well.

Now you need those red brake calipers with the ponies on them from Ford Racing.

Now if only Ford would put the same tires on their 64E wheels that you did! I was hoping for a BFG KDW 255 series but will have to settle with 235's for now.

Does anyone know what brand tires are coming with the 64E option?

According to this web site, http://www.arifleet.com/production.html, Job 1 for the 64W's is Oct. 3rd. So they should arrive within one to 2 weeks after that.

Yah, I was pretty surprised that they didn't go with wider tires because IMO they really improve the look of the car. Plus, the new tread pattern on the BFG's is an eye-catcher. The road dust/sand that naturally sticks to the tread seems to make the width stand out quite a bit.

Thanks a lot for the info, I'll try and confirm this with the dealer (doubt they know though). I'm still C/U so my build date won't be until September if I'm lucky. Maybe waiting one more month might be worth it. Decisions, Decisions. :scratch:

I did a quick photochop of the 64W:
