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.

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.

The Mustang/Marauder Wheel is a forged aluminum wheel made by Alcoa at their Lebanon, Virginia Plant.
Wheel Weight(kg): 10.7140
I just weighed the wheel in my office, and it weighed between 21-23lbs. My scale might be off a pound or two.
We polished this same wheel for Alcoa, when it went on the Marauder. If Alcoa likes our new price, we will be polishing it for the Mustang.
Just last week, the 18 inch Fanblades rolled into my shop( 2 - 4 pieces). I guess we might be polishing them in the future. I believe they are being done in Canada right now.

Anyone know what tire sizes will work on the 18 x 8.5 wheel, so the speedo will still be in calibration?

Also in the BFG KDW'S The p245/45/r18 is Cheaper than the narrower but a Hair Taller p235/50/r18 That Comes Stock on the 06's with 18's FYI! Wider and Cheaper! Can't beat that.
