I've seen these , on my neighbors car . It came that way from the dealer / factory . Its a 2007 V-6 " BOSS" package . It seems to be nothing more than a stripe / rim combo thingy , still has single exhaust. Nothing special performance wise.

I remember them now. They were part of the v6 mustang appearance package. It included rear blackout panel, side scoops, hood scoop, hood graphics, black pedestal spoiler, chin spoiler, and those chrome rims. So yes they are a factory mustang rim.

The weights are the first thing I noticed. That's a ton of weights needed for that wheel. All wheels need to be balanced some, but that's just crazy. If they need that many weights, there's probably no way they're balanced perfectly.

Yes, when you balance wheels with TPMS there is a little extra weight. Generally we try to keep it under 8oz total. Now on wheels like the Legends and Godspeed Omegas where there is a 5 spoke that shows the inside of the wheel, we use a procedure on our machine called "Behind Spoke" where it places all the weight where it can't be seen. It can sometimes require a little more, but it makes it where the weights aren't visible like the OP's wheel.
