Is anyone running the factory 19" wheels on 05-09 mustang? I'm wondering if these are lighter than the Gt500 rims or not.

Tried the search, didn't find much,

thanks

if they are lighter, they probably wouldn't be by much.

on a side note, are the '10+ wheels even for sale in the parts dept yet?

3.73-11

there are several listings on ebaymotors right now for the 19's and I saw a set of the updated bullit style that come as the standard wheels on the 2010 gt's

I wanna see the 19 GT500 wheels in that blackish hue.

Me too. From the magazine articles those look sweet.

the GT500's 19" wheels look killer!

They look great, but they probably won't be light.

A relatively light 19 inch, cast wheel weighs around 25 lbs at the least. It's not uncommon for a 19 inch cast wheel to weigh 28 lbs. Forged 19 inch wheels are around 20 to 22 lbs a piece and they cost $800 to $1100 each. No way Ford installed a wheel like that on a factory car. If you're looking for a good compromise between weight and looks, then a light weight 18 inch wheel is probably the way to go.

Good information, thanks

Problems with 19", tires aren't cheap in that size.

This was my concern before, but I figured if they are coming equipped with wheels this size now tire choices would increase.

My problem is one I'm sure a ton of us have gone through trying to decide between 18" and 20". I know I definitely want to go staggered, I just can't decide on rim size.

Keep em coming though, all good info
