There may be 1 Shelby wheel but I noticed 2 paint styles (painted silver and argent painted spokes)

I have to admit, pretty much all of the new wheels are killer. There have been a few grumbles over just about all the details of the new styling, but the wheels have pretty much been unanimously loved. I guess you can actually please everyone!

I've noticed that too. I don't think I've seen one post that talks down about the new wheel selection, except maybe when they were still painted black to be camoed. Good stuff Ford!

I like them all pretty well, but the GT "Premium" wheels are definately my favorite.

Wonder how many - if any (other than the Shelbys) - will be forged...as opposed to cast.

Nice find.......the GT500 wheels look sweet, much better size and style than the current version IMO.
I will order them the day they are available for my car....Im still curious if there will be color variations, painted, polished etc.
Interesting they went with 19's over 20's.....Im guessing Ford thinks the handling is impaired by the 20's...??
2010 is going to be awesome year for the Mustang.

Great job...

I think 19's are a better match than the 20's..more tire sizes available and 20's just look to bling in my book..JMHO.

I don't think 20's are necessary either. Looks too big for a car the size of a Mustang. May as well just put a huge racing spoiler and a pair of clear tail lights on it while you're at it. Too ricer and tacky IMO.

The optional GT wheels are MONEY! Those are going to be on my ride at some point.

I guess mine will be the first then I think the new wheels look great, I'm just not crazy about the sizes, width or diameter. IIRC (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the new standard 18" wheels are only 8" wide, 1/2" narrower than the current 18" wheels. I can't remember where the post is anymore that listed the wheel sizes, but I believe that is what it said. I really don't see a need for 19's, and having narrower 18's as standard is a step backwards IMO. I'd rather they keep the same sizes (or same diameter, just wider) as what is on the current Mustangs, just offer different styles. I just really can't stand how standard wheels are getting so much bigger all the time on everything. Hopefully they get it right (smaller diameter) on the complete redesign in 2014/2015, especially if that Mustang is going to be lighter and smaller.
