http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/12/d...cessory-wheel/

These accessory wheels are NICE. Why the heck didn't Ford carry through with it? Anybody with insider info please ask.

I really wanna buy those black chrome 19's of the stock nickel lusters


I know lots of people liked the 20's too...what's the deal?

As to why none of the others made it, I'm not too sure...

I like the 18in black chrome rims with the with the red white and blue pony center cap. I really don't understand the obsession of huge rims, they are just heaver and cost a lot more. Not to mention tire replacement cost are outrageous. I know I know they look cooler... to some.

Here is a guess on why the 20" Anodized Gold rim wasn't released. Maybe is very similar to what will eventually be used on the 2012 Boss 302. Maybe not the color, but the style. Ford didn't go through the trouble of making the Boss 302R resemble the 1970 Boss 302 by mistake, and I bet the Boss 302R is almost exactly what the street Boss will look like. Race on Sunday, sell on Monday.

good point, I just wish Ford would give us some kind of official explanation. They annouced these wheels would be available and then nothing...

I want those on my 2011. I was thinking about getting the regular painted ones refinished but it cost $185 per wheel. I'd rather just purchase these

Those black chrome 19s look great. Wish those were an option for 2010 or 2011.

I don't know what the deal is with those wheels. I'd guess those were all a feeler at the show to see which styles were a hit, and we'll see them in the future as options or package wheels. Keep your eyes peeled for new styles next year.

I think the black chrome would look good on white also.
