If I am not mistaken, I have read somewhere that the standard wheels on the V6 will be 16' spinners.
Any idea how 17' spinners will look on a black GT.
I apologize if this has already been discussed or if my information is wrong.
Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that no car manufacturer will put aftermarket wheels such as spinners on a production car. For one, it may hinder sales and also cost of production on something that pricey will defintely hinder profits.

He's not talking about the spinners you see on ricer cars. He's talking about the wheels on this V6 Stang:



They're known as spinners because of the fake knock-off in the center.

Spinners are the small three-spoke piece in the middle of the wheel. They were originally used in racing in place of 5 lugs so the wheels and tires could be swapped quicker.

Thanks for clearing that up for me TomServo.
So any ideas guys how would the spinners look on a black GT, cause I hate the standard wheels that the GT's got.

They don't really "spin" though. Whenever I've tried "spinning" them they were always a pain to move.

I'm glad that I am not the only one who thinks the V6 gets better wheels than the GT.

While I personally want Bullitts, I'd imagine the spinners from a V6 would like very nice on a black GT. Heck, just about any wheel will look good on a black GT IMO.

Have one of the Photoshop guys create it for you and see for yourself.

i love those wheels. but the spinners wont be standard on the V6, i think.
the standard wheels are the dull looking 16'. the wheels that come with the spinners are i think machine brushed or something so they look shinnier.

They fit the standard hub opening. You can always just order the knock-off 'spin nuts' and put them on bullitts

I can only find 16"s from American Racing. I SWEAR that I saw 18"s on a truck recently that said torq thrust on them though.....
