FORD GT replica wheels for Mustang!!!!

[Seminole2001]

Anyone seen these, I found them while digging through eBay.

Anyone have any knowledge on this manufacturer or experience with them?

Check out the backspacing and offset.... will that work on 05+

wrong offset for S197s. 24mm is for previous years, but not 05+.

 

[Seminole2001]

I e-maile dthem to seeif other options are available.... these might work with the 14" Brembo 07 Shelby Upgrade.....

wouldn't that look sweet

They're currently available for the 05+ in chrome. He wouldn't say if other finishes were forthcoming.

what offset?

I really like the Gunmetal finish on these. Question about the offset though, only 24mm on the 18x9 and 22mm on the 18x10...is that enough?

Who is he, someone at CT-R? I have e-mailed CT-R but with no repsonse. Would be interested.

I sure wish there was a place where you can see wheels in person - without a special order, looking at the quality and craftmanship - there are some crappy repro's out there. Wonder if they would send one to seal the deal....

I wonder which center caps would look best, might have to done some photoshop.

18x9 38mm
18x10 42mm
chrome finish only for now.

The contact didn't type english very well. It was written as almost stereotypical Asian/Engrish.

That isn't enough offset. I specifically was inquiring about the gunmetal finish when I e-mailed them. Also, they said a 20" would be considered if there were enough demand.

those would be alot better for S197s

A guy over at Modular Fords already has a set and is waiting for tires as we speak. I need them in 20x10 with the 42mm offset, in either the gunmetal or a black chrome finish.

 

[Seminole2001]

I wonder what the weight of the 20" would be? Tires get so expensive, I was ready a thread about that much rolling mass on the corners affecting steering and responsiveness. Any fears?

I'd love to see that in gunmetal. Wonder about the quality, though...

I looked at the 18x9 and 18x10 in the chrome GT wheels like on ebay. The offset is 38 and 42. Said it would work with no tire rub up to a 2.5 inch drop. Has a 1.5 inch lip on the front wheel and 3 inch on the rear wheels.

Seller, named John, sent me his phone number and it is a Houston based number. I asked in email response if there was anywhere in Central Florida, dealer or what not that may have the wheels to view. I definitley wouldn't spend that much on cheap knock off's, however the Ford pieces are very expensive..... are they forged or just "FORD GT" worthy....

by the way my 05 Premium is in having all of it's TSB's checked off the list..... Mullinax Ford here in Apopka is great... almost 30K miles.
seats, clunking front suspension, rear end growl, rear end rumble at 50mph, gas tank lack of burping ability, and horrible brake shutter (cheap rotors)

i emailed them last week and they said only chrome and 18'' for 05s . i too like the gunmetal, with a nice wide polished lip or why dosn't someone make 20'' fr 500s. it seems like all the aftermarket companies are competing to bring out new crazy ideas (body kits and drifting stuff) and there missing somethig so obvious. i dont expect the quality to be great there pretty cheap when it comes to good rims like bbs that are that much for just one
