Wheels!

OK, I have tried to look in the threads for pictures, but there are sooooooooooo many of them and I havent seen what I am looking for specifically, hence this question.

Are the stock FORD logo center caps on the gray wheels silver??

The reason I ask is, I have the pony package and different center caps. My caps match the gray wheels. I bought a set of gray wheels for my friends car, and his center caps are silver,,, they look kinda funny with the gray wheels. (I got his stock silver wheels for winter use)

Please, if any of you guys with the GT, or plain V6, and have the stock gray wheels with the ford logo center caps, post a pic or two.

It would appear that you missed this statement,,,

Perhaps I didnt ask the question the right way.

Are there two different FORD logo center caps for the stock wheels. (silver and gray) OR do ALL the gray ones have the pony canter cap??

Im talking about these wheels,

Your in luck... here's a picture of mine and I also went out to the garage to check. My Ford center caps are painted silver (same color as my wheels).

Thanks for checking.

That is the same as my friends. His 07 GT came with silver wheels, My 06 pony package came with gray as in my picture, and my canter cap has the try bar pony. He wanted gray wheels so I bought a set of 4. I had new wheels mounted to them, and gave him the set that came on my car. He gave me his silver wheels for me to use in the winter. (I now have two sets of tires and wheels)

Anyway, I hadn't given it any thought till the other night I was over at his house. While leaving, I looked at the gray wheels on his car, and noticed the silver ford logo center caps.

So now I am trying to find out if there are two different FORD logo center caps for the stock wheels. (silver and gray) OR do ALL the gray ones have the pony canter cap??

It would appear that I have found the answer to my question.

There ARE two different ford logo center caps.
One is all silver, and the other is gray ring (to match the wheels) and silver inside (see pic)



Does anyone have the part number??

I hear ya, but I dont know if he wants that. He is kinda picky when it comes to his car.

Boltzman...just remember, the Stang doesn't say Ford anywhere on the vehicle...so Ford felt they could get away with putting them on the center caps for the GT. I do prefer the "pony" center caps...however, they were standard on the V6 Pony Package Trim only and not for the GTs...I'll stick with Ford center caps.

yep, and thats one reason I bought the Pony package. I liked the options that were different then the rest... Would have been nice to have a choice of V6 or V8 tho... But im not complaining.

Also, that is why I said my friend is kinds picky about his car.... But eh, Ill talk to him to see what he want to do.
