Side note, that RTR emblem is pretty sweet. I love how the font is identical to the 05-10 GT font.

The RTR package is going to be offered through Ford Dealers as a Dealer installed package. The RTR program is in association with Ford Motor (aka its Legit) so ther are A LOT of cool touches like that!

RTR wheels are the only way to get that wheel with the CORRECT bolt pattern and back spacing.

The first batch of RTR production wheels should be at the shop this week. I will share how/ where to buy when that is finalized
Any more info on these wheels?

very interested in how/when these will be available to buy

If the 18s are the same as the 2007-2009 GT500, you can buy 'em from FRPP for $224 a pop. http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9485

Dang I'll need wider rubber to place on these beasts if I get them. Wonder if the standard pony center caps will fit the rims....

Make sure and post up some pics when you get them. You plan on weighing these wheels when you get them? It would be interesting to know how much lighter or heavier these wheels are than the ugly *** ones that come on the brembo cars.

Also, check for pm.

quality is awesome the color is sick (darker grey that has silver metalic that reflects in the light) and the spoke design is amazing very 3 dimensional, the ark of the spoke from the hub to the lip when looking from the back or front of the car, aka not from the side.

price is awesome as well at only $300/wheel (retail) for a 19X9.5

The wheels are being mounted on the car tommorow so I will have some pics.


In regards to the whole package I will send John (program Manager and email and get the offical press release and post it up (with price for you guys)

All the parts should be available ala carte to the public as soon as June

Wondering what size/brand tires you were going to run? I love those wheels.

Would love to see an offset set of these wheels or similar VMR wheels on the car. Brembo, non-Brembo or both!

If I can get the Brembo pkg, I will leave the car as is, if not then I will most likely lower and change the wheels.

Brembo pkg is the more cost effective way to put a great set of wheels and brakes on the car so it's tough to justify the aftermarket parts to even myself, let alone, my wife.

i like the 275/40-19 because it adds some tire height for mph in the traps. if we cant get a tuner soon i dont want to be limited to 112mph.
