Great find Sean. I wonder if those are the 06 rims? I wonder why they would change the design? (cheaper?)

Unless those will be offered through Ford Racing earlier?

 

Well.. the "ford racing" badge is on the wheels, I bet they are going to be in the catalog only.

Plus, they look to be forged = $$$

 

I think they look like rebadged Steeda rims the new ones from Steeda.
Well maybe not.

 

the steeda spokes are too thin. the ford racing spokes are jjuuuuuuuust right

 

The rims on the green car look exactly like the ones Ford used on the Mercury Marauder .. except for the center cap. I have wondered if they would fit / Look good.

 

Yeah, I was gonna say that, those are Marauder rims.

 

Marauder and Vic have the same bolt pattern as the Mustang, the backspacing was different then the mustangs though, I believe they were more positive offset. Also they used 18"s in the front and 19"s in the rear

 

I still think I like those fanblades more.

 

yeah those are definitely marauder rims... that is the only other car i am considering... 10k off sticker makes u think...

 

Fanblades :worship:

 

..

 

need CHROME fanblades

 

You are partially right.
Marauders use 18" Polished Aluminum wheels but they are 18" in both the front and the rear.
Only the TIRE sizes are different.
235/50ZR18 in Front, 245/55ZR18 in Rear.
BFG KDWS come stock from the factory.

They do look good on the 2K5 Stang too !

 

Geez I never would have thought to put Marauder rims on a Mustang. They look nice though.

 

Have we heard anymore about whether the 18" Fan Blades will be offered later during the 05 model year or if they will not show up at all until the 06...the wait for those babies and Titaninum Silver is killing me...

 

Thai-Tang said 18's won't be available until the 06MY. Up to this point, we still suspect those will be the fanblade style.

 

i hope so
