Saw 'em in the Ford Accessories catalog, and was wondering if anyone had a pic of them actually on a car. I'd love to get some spinners, but I can't really tell if I'd like them or not unless I was able to see them with something more revealing than a wheels-only pic like in the catalog. Anyone, please...?

Eddie....I read in an earlier post, that the spinners are just press fitted on, and thus can be popped off and stolen real easy.......TOO EASY. If the spinners were screwed on from the inside of the wheel, then they would be fine.....but the way they just press on, they wouldn't be worth the expense to replace everytime they are stolen. I went through this x-tra $$$ everytime my hood ornaments got stolen off of my vintage Monte Carlo and Cadillac I used to own......

Check other threads out there. I think someone did get them already and I posted that they can easily be removed. Someone can take them all in a split second if they wanted to.

Just stop in at the dealers and look in the catalog bin. Should be there. If not, just ask a salesman. Of course nothing in the catalog is available yet.

The spinners for the V6 sport package are push on. I don't know if the same spinners can be used on the bullet wheels.

Does the press seal application also apply to the V6 spinners?

I'm not worried about that aspect of it, my car will be garaged, and I have other vehicles to go to the mall and stuff with, and parking at work is secure.

But as others have mentioned nothing seems to be available yet

Thought I'd bump this after a while since I have yet to see a single pic of Bullitts with the spinners on an actual car. Anyone, please?

Try www.cheapforparts.com. About $15 cheaper than in the Ford Accessories catalog. And probably available for shipment as well.

Thanks for the link!

I'm extremely curious, though, as to why it is that on Ford Direct's website, they state "Fits all 2005 Mustang wheels, except 17" bright machined cast aluminum wheel." And yet on the Cheap Ford Parts site, it appears as if they have done just that...? Compare these and let me know if I'm mistaken?

Awesome. Once you have them on, could you please consider taking some pics for us to see? I'm dying to know if they look as good on the car as they do in the catalog photos. Thanks!

The 17" bright machined cast aluminum wheel they are refering to are the upgraded ones, not the chrome bullits.
