Although 20's are nice, I like the factory 18" like the ones on this http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2174403 ride. I'm sure there's people out there willing to sell theirs. A used wheel/tire set for 500/600? I saw some on ebay, but ebay is becoming a ripoff lately.

They will probably be rarer than you think. Anyone who bought them
spent $825 for them from Ford, so they probably liked them. If they
were planning to go aftermarket they would have bought the stock
bullets that go for $300 or so on EBay.

You're right. I splurged for the 18"s on my car and IMHO they were worth it. Normally I'm not one for OEM rims, but I really like these and haven't found anything I like better (though I do want to get 19"s eventually). I originally was going to get the stock bullits and upgrade right away but when these were offered, I jumped on them.

I would think they'd be hard to find out on the market - I know my car was the only one in the region to get them because of commodity issues etc. I've yet to see any car with my fanblade rims, period (ok, except for Dan but he cheated).

Love my 18" fanblades, so I won't be selling them anytime soon. Have you tried calling Ford?

10" replica fanblades would probably sell pretty well.
