Did you forget to put the word "NOT" in your post? I love my fanblades BTW.

RE: Polished Fanblades

The only reason I ended up with the black fanblades is that I didn't like any of the other rims from Ford. Eventually, I'll upgrade to FR500 20's.

Just bought a Vista Blue GT with Gray Fanblades. Upgraded from a V6 pony. I bought it unseen and was thinking the fanblades would be all polished' The dealer is williing to work with me, but they say they have not found any Fanblades that are 100% polished.
I believe I saw pics on this site of a stang with all polished but it is hard to tell. I sent an email to the member and am waiting for a reply.
I do like the wheels, but only if they are polished, the gray just doesn't look right.

How can I find out if Ford has them for a 2008?

Thanks for the help.

Wait, wait, wait! Maybe we misunderstand you. Did you buy an '08 stang? In that case, I don't think those are called fanblades. Is it these?

RE: Polished Fanblades

Well after hours of surfing the web I found several businesses that repair, and refinish wheels.
One is Wheel Refinishers located in Maryland and North Carolina.

By chance has anyone had any dealings with these guys.
Would like to know what is involved and if anyone has any pros and cons of goimg this route.

There actually are many more out there such as Transwheel which seems to be a pretty big company.[/align]

Love the Fan Blades

I really like the look of the fanblades and would love them if they were all polished, even thou the black ones look pretty cool on your car.
With Vista Blue, the Gray does not match up.
I also have a set of the polished fanblades that the dealer will fit the sensors for the new models for free. So the dealer is doing his part.

Just think the Fanblades Polished would look super!
