OK, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed on most days, but every single shot I've seen of 2007 GT's with the 17" standard wheels seems to be lighter in color. At first I thought it was the flash of the cameras. But after hanging out on StangsUnleashed.Com... and looking at all the new '07's roll off the line where the flash could not 'lighten' the wheels, it looks like this to me:

Ford has discontinued the 'argent' (dark grey) standard 17 inchers and moved to the 'painted silver' (brighter) wheels. I've not seen ONE '07 GT or Pony Package with the argent...

Look for yourself, then beware of the bricks!!!

 

I have the sliver Bullitt wheels on my 99 Mustang for 4 years no, problems with them they look great in person.

 

Not saying they don't look great. They do. But I never heard an announcement that they were changing them. I think they look sharp. Besides, the darker argent have been around a looooong time.

Nothing in the order guides, either (I believe). Just thought that was strange...

Think of it this way. How many TMS'ers are ordering 18" wheels because they believe the stock 17" are the darker bullitts. Maybe some would order their cars with the stock wheels if they knew they were the lighter wheels that were previously shown in the aftermarket wheel catalog...

 

Given how timely Ford is being with their 07 brochures, maybe they will finally get around to announcing the new wheels change in August when the new booklets are released.

 

Too funny. How hard it is to do a brochure for a 3 year old model? I'll have my '07 over a month by the time those puppies come out.

 

Yeah, I noticed that color difference too. When I saw the '07 pics, at first I thought they were putting the polished 18" Bullitts on everything!

 

I guess they mean it when they say that features can be changed without notice. Still, they look good.

 

Those do look a lot like 64W's. I am glad now that I ordered fanblades, after second guessing myself.

 

Good observation Stan. I would add the remote possibility that they just never were painted at all. I believe that the order code for the stock bullitts remained the same. Perhaps some part number checking by KC could shed some additional light.

 

Just rubbed my last two brain cells together... here's what I came up with. Ford goes to the bright silver on the '07's so we have a full production run with those wheels for those who do not order upgrades...

Then, in 2008, Ford comes out with the Bullitt in Dark Highland Green with the Argent Bullitts like the '68 and VOILA! You have a unique car when everybody and their brother orders a DHG GT or Pony Pkg but not the SE Bullitt.

OK, I used 3 brain cells. Let's keep that between YOU and ME.

 

So everything else about the wheel is the same?
I guess it's just the silver throwing me off but something looks different.

 

Looks like the brain cells are working, those are silver and those are production.

 

Stan not long now and you'll be cruisin in the TANG mobile

 

GOT TANG?

 

I love it!

 

Maybe I'm just not used to them yet, but the silver Bullitts look like cheap aftermarket to me. Or a backyard repaint with a can of Rustoleum. I'm thinking not enough people were ordering upgraded wheels, so they made the standard ones less attractive.

Or maybe I'm just cranky since it was almost 100 degrees here yesterday and my A/C isn't working at the house...

 

What`s the word on the different spoiler on the pony pkg?

 

I thought they looked lighter. I liked them darker. Doesn't bother me though, I'm getting Fanblades in 3 weeks!

 

Ah..you'll want to change them anyway. I liked the bullits just fine until I started looking at aftermarket rims. If you keep visiting the forums, you will end up thinking you have to change them...lol..at least I did.

 

That would make it the Tang 'Stang.
