So I'm thinking of tweaking the order I placed on my red vert. I currently have the 64w's ordered. I like the fanblades a lot but they seem a bit dull and a tad too wide. The '06 catalogue and some pictures like this... http://www.allfordmustangs.com/photo...hp/photo/27838

...appear to show a slightly more polished fanblade that's perhaps a little thinner. Am I nuts, is it the angle of the pics, is there a diff, or is somethiong aftermarket available and that's what I'm seeing?

I'm also probably gonna drop the spoiler. Hope that isn't an an enthusiast nono but I think it looks more refined, especially on a vert. Here's to hoping the tweaks don't delay the order any. Hopefully not as I don't even have a VIN yet.

I vote for "angle of photo." I don't think there are "thinner" fan-blades made by Ford.

However, in the `06 catalogue I think they do show some chromed, I just don't know where you would get a pair...or if you would really want a pair. (I'm not a fan of chromed wheels.) Maybe you should go to a dealership and try to get a real look at the non-chromed ones in person. That may settle it for you.

My fanblades shine pretty well, when they're clean. It's just the photo that makes them look thinner.

Yep ! ... When they're clean they shine pretty well ...

I happen to love my fanblades. It seems like there are some people that don't but....who feaking cares? It's my car. I'm even thinking of looking into getting the blades painted to match the car color etc....any opinions on that?

When I first ordered my car I ordered the fanblades--I ended up with the 18" bullits and I'm happy it turned out that way (long story). Anyway, I still like the fanblades, but it should be a personal decision.

Sptlckr, you should visit the photochop section and just give folks a good quality picture of your ride--shouldn't be much of a problem to change the colors of the fanblades to match your car--then you don't have to guess.

Yea, those are the polished 18" fanblades from ford. I've got them on my stang and love them. Chrome is too shiny and flashy for me

The fanblades you reference in the picture are Premium Aluminum Wheels (64E's) vs the Polished Aluminum Wheels (64W's) you ordered are known as bullets. They are old-school knockoff's a la Steve McQueen movie with the same name and are the only new "late 06' wheels" became available recently and of which are both 18's. They are very shiney, look great are not Flat but curve inward and expose the rear wheel calipers more then the fans and I ordered them on my 06' Black Vert coming in early April. See the BRS parts/Spinner Kit commercial link on the right hand side of this web page for a picture.

Well here's an example... these are chrome (or polished aluminum) fanblades. They look hot! Where the hell do I get them? The vert I'm waiting on now has the regular 64E on order.

Well, I know for a fact they're chrome (or polished alum) anyone have any ideas? Can I get that done somewhere?
