Default 2010 19" Rims on a V6

I think the new optional 19" rims for the 2010 GT are beautiful. Here's a link http://mustangs.about.com/od/mustang...ng-GT.-4Za.htm

Do you think Ford or FRPP will make these available to anyone or only to people who have 2010 GT's? I'm not sure if they don't sell them to everybody to protect the brand or whatever.

If they're available to anyone, I'm definitely getting these.

Wait a while and companies will start selling them as take-offs! I'm sure that you would be able to buy them new from Ford once the 2010's are out, but I bet the price will be staggering!

You can buy them from Ford, without issues. The problem with that is they will be more expensive than buying from say American Racing. You can find something similiar for less though.

I dunno. It looks like Ford has upped the craftsmanship of these wheels. I'm no expert but I think it'll be tough for 3rd party manufacturers to match the details of that wheel. But I could be wrong.

To me, 18's are just a tiny bit too small and 20's are just a little too big. Those 19's look like a perfect fit.

you are wrong, they will be "replicas" out in no time at all.

Needs to be anything but 19".
Finding 19" tires is a big deal nowdays.
I really dont like the look of the 2010 OEM 19" rims.
Ford could have done better....

I really like the FR500 style 18's that are optional on the new GT. I wouldn't mind sporting a set of those.
