I agree- we make them at work, the 20" is sweet, the 18-not...and theyre not chrome but 'durabrite', a new hardcoat process Alcoa developed that never requires more than a rinse and wont peel like chromed aluminum can- the coating looks great, but the 18" design sure looks bad if compared to the 20" in my opinion...

WOW!!! 5 KRs at around $80,000 a pop! Thats $400,000 of inventory in just 5 cars! As much as I love these cars, as a person in the business, I would NOT want that kind of $$$ on my floorplan each month, in this economy! Someone is gonna be able to snag one or more for MSRP as they can't honestly say, they are limited and hard to get, since they got 5 OF THEM!!
It would be interesting to see how much they want for them.

I can get a wheel made by Forgeline in 20" that is not a knockoff but it looks similar. These wheels are an ultra nice three piece wheel. The nice thing about it being three piece is that if it gets damaged anyhow the wheel is not trashed because you can buy replacement parts at a pretty reasonable price.

There are many options available when getting these rims; one of the options being that you can get them with hidden fasteners. When they are on a 05+ Mustang the wheel lip is not as large as in the picture below.

KR's are better in vista blue...18's are too small (I cant believe I just said that), it needs 20's just like the concept

one of the guys in my neighborhood bought one (black w/black strips) and received it about 3 weeks ago. I thought the same thing about the wheels, but actually, they look much better in person...pictures, for some reason, just don't do them justice.

I think 20s look like too ghetto on these cars.. Too much wheel and not enough rubber. They look nice on C300s though.
If you put on larger tires (305/45/18) on 18" rims then that is what looks right on a muscle car such as this.

Imagine a 1969 Mach 1 with 20" rims. That would be funny stuff!
If it came with 20s I would be switching them to 18s.

18's look too small. 20"'s dont look ghetto IMO, we arent talking 24's here, 20's fill out the fender well nicely and there is room to have some decent rubber. I hae 20" razors and they look 100x's better than the 18's..again IMO

I saw one at my dealer. Cool looking until I saw the price tag...F that. I'd rather take a GT and do some work on it. Or at the very least do a little work to a GT500.
