Ford Racing Performance Parts' "SVT Wheel"

While perusing Ford Racing's web site, I stumbled upon some front and rear "SVT wheels." According to the description, these are the same wheels found on the "2011 Mustang SVT," but I can't think of one SVT Mustang (Shelby GT500) that features a 19x10 rear wheel. Does anyone have an idea as to what these $500-a-piece wheels may be?

*When I click on the link for the front wheel, it takes me to the Ford Racing web site main page.

Hmm not sure, the SVT PP Wheels are suppose to be 19" in the front and 20" in the back so it doesn't sound like those since it says rear wheels

This is interesting. Hopefully they'll put a picture up soon to verify. Doesn't ring a bell with that size on any of the 2011 models.

The SVT package wheels come 19"x9.5 in front and

20"x9.5 in rear...... 265/40/19 & 285/35/20.. The svt package wheels are forged and the stock gt500 are not. i want these when i get my gt but when i emailed a ford dealer part dept the reply was " ford and shelby" made agreement that any shelby part wanted must be for a " shelby only" vin and photo required before purchase can be made

I thought the stock GT500 wheels were forged? The 2010 GT500 convertible 18" SVT wheels were cast aluminum, but I'm pretty sure the 19" versions are forged.

Correct. The stock 19's are forged. Only the 18's on the vert are cast

I always heard the performance package wheels were light weight but Ford Racing really outdid themselves with ones that are 0lbs!

Bob has a set of those wheels. He won them this year at Mustang Alley during the Woodward dream Cruise. 19 forged front and 20 forged rear. Lucky dog!

Yep. They also were raffling off a set of 19" Brembo wheels with tires. The raffle itself was loaded with good stuff.
