New Ford Racing Wheels

Hope this has not been posted already but here is a list of the two new wheels released today. The "Spyder" wheels looks close to what RTR is doing

The Spyder wheel just looks like a refreshed version of the old FR500 wheels to me. The black one looks like an RTR knock off.

I want to see the Black ones a little closer. I think the RTR may look a little better but if Ford releases some in a Silver or Polished color I may look into it a little more.

RTRs look a lot better, IMO, especially for those of us with Brembos.

8.5" wide? Seriously? Maybe for the front. Need a wider matching rear.

Why do you need a wider rear for a v6 or a 2010 gt or a 05-09 Gt?
Lots of people only put wheels on their car and nothing else. These rims are for them

And I like them buying up as many Mustangs as possible, to keep the price down for me.

The black ones are just black versions of the new optional polished GT/V6 Pony Package wheel for 2012...
