Well everyone wants to know the deal with the rims. Well my buddy works at the plant that makes them. Here are a few pics.
It is rumoured that the polished one is the wheel that is offically supposed to go into production for the 06 model. It is for the Mustang GT model but it is an option and not the base. The one with the painted spokes is being proposed to Ford.

I only see 1 rim
edit: oh there it is
The painted ones look dumb. So they won't be offered any time during 2005? They're polished now, not chrome?

Yes chrome = crap. About the only advantage I can see to a chrome wheel is the ability of a chrome wheel to sacrifice itself over time instead of the finish on your car in much the same way zincs on the hull of a steel boat protect the boat. I have seen OE chrome plated wheels corroded so bad that the aluminum wheel was pitted itself and the center caps were practically welded in place by a layer of corrosion so thick the center cap broke upon trying to remove it.
