The 18s got delayed, that isnt changing and if they could have got it straightened out before launch, they would have. they are not going to put the whole car on hold because of one option.

Aren't there plenty of aftermarket 18's to choose from? I know that is just another expense but if you want the car and the lack of an 18 option keeps you from getting the car why not remedy that situation with aftermarket stuff?

All jokes aside, I know that if I had fallen in love with the Titanium color and everything else specific to that car.... well I'd be pretty disappointed and frustrated too. Ah, what a tease Ford can be!

I loved the titanium as well. I just decided to go with the mineral grey and have striping done in Dupont metallic black. Should look great when finished. Then I will just have to find some suitable 18's?

You could just order the 18's when the dealers get them and make the switch. I bet someone would buy your stock wheels and tires from you on Ebay. I remember seeing lots of V-6 cars with the GT wheels on them in the 80's and 90's.

There are still many mysteries with the 18's... they still may appear this year, we have gotten different stories from different people.

I wonder if the titanium silver w/stripes and the motor trend blue with stripes are actually what the shelby will be like??Maybe with a 4 valve DOHC motor???Just an idea.
mach1fever, are you blazinsteed from the registry???Yeah, as soon as I get my titanium silver GT you can put me back on the e-mail list.Hopefully that will be soon.Unless I can get a shelby in '06 for under $35,000.

I'll tell you this much for nothing, If I was over there (not long now.....) and I saw an '05 with stripes on a lot, the dealer would have to hide his hands before I bit them off! I probably couldn't resist a Siver car with darker stripes!

that many people would not want, and would hurt sales because a percentage of the mustangs on dealer lots will have stripes, which some may not want.

Then again, their are alot of ford salesmen on this board... So I am not suprised.

What I mean is that they should have forseen possible delays etc. and made sure it was available at launch. From what we've heard, the 18's were a last minute thing and Ford didn't know if people would like them. They should have planned a nice set of 18's from the get go.

I can't believe what you pay for Saleen rims. Man, the aftermarket will be expensive. I really liked the silver alloy 18's on the Boss V10 Mustang. $2100 US for the rims & tires I believe.
