I was wondering if FRPP is going to come out with any wheels for the '05. I couldn't find an email address to ask them. I can't call them long distance from work.
All they have in their catalog now are the ones from the Ford Accessories catalog.
I still can't find any 18x9's I like. If FRPP is taking so long to come out with wheels, I can't imagine how long it's going to take the regular aftermarket companies.

 

Stangnut, they're doddling at FR. I've called a few times and besides being rude, stupid and ignorant, they've been no help at all - especially when it came to talking about offset, backspace, etc, etc. (like the stuff you posted in the 18x9 forums - which was appreciated, thank-you). Long story short...."About April or May" was the best they could give for availability of the '05 17x8 Bullitts, can't imagine how much longer they'd be for something like the F 500 (which sadly here in Canada are $425.00 EACH for the 04 fitments, probably more if and when they make them for our 05's, so I eliminated them off the list).

Ended up going with the 04 black Bullitt 'cause I love the extra 10mm or so that they stick out - just what the car needs if you're not upping the rim size.

Thanks again for all your offset & stuff help -

Mark.

 

I'm glad I could help. It's nice to know I at least contribute a little something here considering all the help I've gotten.
I didn't even realize the Bullitts weren't available yet. That's kinda screwed up since all they're doing is selling Ford Accesories. It's not like they're having to come up with anything new.
I was hoping they'd come out with some wheels that were FRPP specific. Like the FR500 wheels. I'd love to see those (black) in 18x9 for the '05.

 

StangNut - check out MRT's wheelsite here:

They're "Raceline" wheels, just like the FR500's (and just as pricey) but they look great and can be custom ordered in any offset other than what's listed. I've called these people a couple of times re the side louvers I've ordered and they are VERY VERY nice and helpful if you've got further questions. Ford Racing should take some quality service lessons from these people.

Thanks. Not sure if I like the style, but I'm running out of options and time. Wonder what's going to be on the Cobra when it's unveiled.

 

I'd also like to know when 18x9" bullitts are coming out as well as the fanblades.

 

See my post about the FR500 wheels. The guy from Mustang tuning said their supplier will also be coming out with 18" Bullitt's next month.
Haven't heard of anyone making the fanblades...thank god.
