Since I want 18's which of the stock 05 wheels do you think will have the best resale potintial.

 

Depends on how used they are in that year....
and any potential nicks/chips.

Also think...you can sell them to a guy with a 6, replacements for damaged rims, or even 'snow rims' for people in the northern states/canada

Take a look at any site that has 04 GT rims for sale, and that'll give you an idea. Same size rim (17x8)

 

650-850 if they are not used for a quick ebay sale, 1000 if your patient.

 

This leads to a trivia question: anybody know if the '05 has a full size spare?

I'd buy a used wheel for that purpose.

 

100 bucks says it doesnt fit in the well

 

Something tells me they said 'mini' and not full sized
In one of the many articles I've read.

Its been a long day

 

15" Steel mini for a spare

 

Thanks guys but I was wondering which wheel option might sell easier better. Painted, Machined?

 

Do they make matching mini spare rims????

 

That'd be funny. I bet you could get some if your heart was set to it 100%. Where theres a will theres a way. B)

Ferraris had sculpted, cast-aluminum mini spares

 

That settles it!

I'm going to outline the rim design on the steelie...and silver paint it to match!

I feel so white trash
I'll be back in 20, gotta go scatter car parts on the front lawn

 

lol,,,,,,how many people with ferrari's do you see changing a tire????,,,,lol

 

That's it, Kevin. Forget the Mustang - I'm getting a Ferrari!

 

I have actually looked at the spare in Orlando but I didn't record the exact size. It's not a mini, that's for sure. As I recall it whas a plain steel wheel with a B brand tire that I never heard about on it.

Actually what I thought was interesting is that the wheel well is dead in the middle of the trunk. Most cars have it either off to the left or off to the right. I suppose in this case the reason is fitting the mufflers left and right from it. Anyway it being in the middle will sure make for some cool symetrical custom stereo's.

 

If you look on page two of the order guide dated 5/24, it states "spare tire/wheel - mini." So my guess is the actual production cars will have a doughnut.

mmmmmmmmm doughnut

 

Hmzzz, well the one I saw in Orlando was a pre production so there might indeed be all kinds of changes before job 1. And what it all comes down to is the definition of a mini. If anything smaller than a ful size is called a mini than yes it could deffo have been one. Looked pretty big to me though. But maybe not as big as the regular wheels, because they are freakin huge! It had the optional 18's on it and I thought even those tires looked bulgy. It's gonna wear 19's very well

 

too bad this has a 99% chance of not fitting on there. IMHO it's pretty close to the optional rims.

 

I just recently noticed that the bright aluminum machined wheels for the new GT have a Ford symbol on them. I am kinda dissappointed. I would much rather have a galloping Pony on them.

 

ME TOO!!!
