Go to ebay motors, punch in Mustang wheels and you
will be able to find what you want; size, price, and if
you don't, keep looking there and be patient, what you
want will eventually show up.

They are great looking but ecpect to swap your TPMS sensors over.
I would wait for 18s to come along or you will end up with
an extra 16" and 17" set when you go 18s.
I have a set of 17s with tires in the grey argent finish I would
part with cheaper than $250 + S/H.

That's kind of what came with my Pony Package, except for the center piece. V6s come with a tribar and running pony while the GTs came with a Ford emblem.

I do prefer aluminum or chrome over black rims. To me (and this is just my opinion) black out rims look dirty all the time and present no "bling" or "flash" to the exterior.....but to each their own.

to the original post.

Those wheels in the ebay auction are being listed from "diversified marketing" aka "newtakeoff.com. You dont have to wait for the wheels you want to become available. just go to their website, the chrome ones are already there!

I just bought 17" chrome bullits from newtakeoff, when they answer the phone, they say "good morning, diversified marketing..."

with that said... if you buy just the wheels you will have to swap your sensors over to the new wheels. Your current sensor bands are not interchangable, you will have to buy new bands from american muscle. The set cost 60 bucks. Been there, done that....

In closing...
I have the 4 silver bullits that are seen in my sig pic for sale pm if interested

OK, forgive the idiotic question but...

When did they start putting in the sensor bands?

I have an '06 and swapped out the factory wheels for the GT wheels I have now, 16's for 16's. Did I have bands? If so, I guess I will assume the shop swapped the bands when I swapped the wheels.

The TPMS comes into play on the 07 and up models.
The 05 and 06 Owners Manuals dont mention any TPMS system.
Government mandated system for the 07 and up models.
