I was also hopeing they would have the fanblades in chrome. Oh well Those bullits look awesome but the maruader wheels look goofy :notnice:

I was iffy on ordering the fanblades. I ended up doing so only because I wanted the 18 inch wheel. Over the weekend I saw fanblades up close. I loved them. Like an idiot, I waited about 10 minutes for the owner to leave the dealership so I could see the fanblades in motion. I liked em alot. Dang this Mustang thing has gotten the best of me.

I think the original pics definately didn't do these rims justice. The recent ones people have posted are much better. Most people will be very impressed with them when seen in person.

The bullitts look very promising and I'm iffy on the maurader rims. I personally still prefer my blades by far over both.

I gonna agreee totally.Like the 18 polished and chrome bullits.Maurader look like they should be on Snoop Dogs car or sumthin and I love my blades best.They look 1000% better in person.My dealer had seen them for the first time on my car and almost peed his pants

I like those black 18" bullitts. The marauders don't do anything for me, and being only 18x8, you're probably stuck with P235 series tires? I'm not sure if P255's would be too wide for an 8-inch rim.

I just wish those black bullitts were 18x9's... I also think they'd look great with chrome spinners, as Kyle mentioned before.

Love the argent and black 18" Bullitts as well as the factory Fan Blades, those are my top three. The Marauder wheels are just OK, definitely not for me.

The bullitt wheel options look great. I wish the offered them wider then 8.5 for the rear.

Hmmm.... it says the Marauder style are forged -- any truth to that? How much do they weigh?

I am personally glad to see any option other than the seen-everywhere Bullits (even though they do look good). I will have to wait to see the new style in person to judge whether or not I really like it though.

Also, I wish all stock Mustangs were lowered like the one in the pic. Even Ford recognizes the car should be lowered to sell accessories, so why isn't it like that stock???

I have a question that may be silly, but are these all aftermarket rims or can they be ordered with your car? Right now I have stock rims and I am curious what kind of flexibility I have here.

The ones pictured above are not "options" that can be ordered with the car. They are accesories that can be bought through your dealer's parts department.
Think of it as aftermarket parts made by Ford.

Cool thanks for clarifying that. Looks like I will probably snow the stocks and order some 18 for summer lovin.
