Do these wheels actually exist?

I saw these wheels on the first 2010s they showed and really like them. But I havnt been able to find them anywhere. I dont even know what they are called. Now they show them again on the "Customize" site. But they arnt on the website for purchase. Anyone know anything about them?

These are beautiful. I have not seen these before. Ford or someone else should make these. I'd buy a set.

I have seen pictures of those wheels on overseas models. You migt be able to get them if you can find the part number. I believe they are 18x8s. A lot of people who upgrade typically go wider or larger than that size which is why we haven't heard too much about these. I agree they look nice, but that's because I don't care for split fork wheel designs.

I've checked all over. That pic was from the 2011 model introduction. I don't think they actually went with that wheel for production. They might be a one off. Good luck with your search.

The wheel appears on the fordparts.com website. It's listed as a wheel for the 2011 GT, with the designation 1007C. I can't get the full part number, but from the listed pricing around the net, I believe the part number is BR3Z-1007-C.

I also see a pic from elsewhere on TMS showing the part number to be AR3Z-1007-H. If I enter this number into the fordparts site, I get referred to the same image as for the part number above, but the pricing is much higher.

This mustang is in Kuwait:

And this one is in Mexico:

So they definitely exist, you should be able to find someone who can get them even if you had to order from Mexico.

OOH! Nice. Thanks PT, and thanks Al!

I'd get the silver ones, and then polish the paint off the faces, but leave the pockets painted... or perhaps paint then satin black... or perhaps anthracite...

/Those chrome ones? Good grief... 750+125=975x4=$3,900 for a set? That sounds... ludicrous.
//Perhaps I'm mistaken in some way. Or naive 'bout chrome.

So... How about the flat black? Thoughts?

/not that it matters... this is what's gonna happen.
//Anyone wanna 'shop it with a white paint job (on the car) for me? This is... really badly done on the pockets. Quick and dirty MSPaint FTL. :P
///edit: Although there's no real need... I did a Q&D on the black paint, and... even as badly as I did it, it definitely works really good.

More info:
http://www.ford-mustang-2010.de/farben.htm
Specifically, Wheel option 649, optional on V6 Premiums, and standard on GTs, but not in the US.
Also here:
http://www.mustangeuropa.com/ficha-n...hp?id_nuevo=27
http://www.mustangeuropa.com/ficha-n...hp?id_nuevo=31
Under 'Power and handling.'



Why in the HECK doesn't Ford offer these in US/Canada?! Not happy about that... These are fantastic, even if I have to get them modified a little... Heck, I already have the center caps shown in my 'shop!

Anyone know what's up with these Hubcap Heaven people? Just a lil' bit of research has some saying they're salvage wheels, so... buyer beware.

Which makes sense, as the $145 per, free shipping, they're showing is way less than the $450 per, lowest I've seen on Ford pricing sites, and more like $550 per mostly... plus shipping on those.

I can't find them anywhere else, except the Chrome ones, at 750 per, plus shipping. Ouch, man, ouch indeed.

I'm not kidding. WANT. Badly. Very very badly. But not at $500 per wheel... I mean, 2010 GT500 convertible rims are not this much.... I can get the entire set for $600ish... and if I can't get these 649s, the GT500s are next in line.

Which... may be better for tire pricing, as it happens, but... Man I want these things...

/I haz a teeny frustrated right now...
