Default HELP! Need help finding this wheel!

Hey, you wheel & tire experts!

Can any of you identify who made this Ford Wheel that is part of the 50 year Mustang Package? I'd like to get them for a 2016 Mustang I'm going to order, but Ford will likely be too damned rigid to put them on the car I order! Heavens! I can remember when car companies would work for a sale! Prove me wrong Ford, please!

They look like FR500 wheels similar to what my wife has on her car.

You could always order them as a part from the parts department and put them on afterwards and try to sell whatever your car comes with to recoup some of the costs.

Thanx alot for the courtesy! I appreciate the help!

They are the closest I've seen so far & at a reasonable price. I'm ordering a base Mustang with 18" wheels for a better ride & these would look much like the wheels on the 50th Anniversary car. Unless I can find the exact same wheels at a reasonable price I'll buy these!

Here's the look I'm going for but with the standard grill of the base Mustang GT. Add a Roush Supercharger & I'll have a "cheap guy's" GT 627 HP for about $42K. More "bang for the buck"!



If anyone recognizes the manufacturer of these wheels please let me know! I want them in bright silver like below:

I've thought of that, but Ford parts is so unreasonable in their charges it would kill me to do that, not financially, but I just don't like being taken. From Ford they could be $3K or more just for the rims. They wanted $74. for a little Ecoboost tag on my truck, so I bought one for $10 on the internet! I'm thinking of making part of the sale of the Mustang that I get dealer parts price on the wheels. Might work if I can get them to be honest! Fat chance! I hope they are made in 18", but if not I'll buy 19/50R radials to improve the ride on the car! Tough now days to buy what you want even when you have the money! I miss the days when car makers would sell you a station wagon with a their highest HP engine, wide rims & a floor shift if you had 5 kids & liked the drag strip! Oh well! Pick package 1, 2 or 3 & give us the profits!

In case some think I was being hard on Ford Parts, four of these Ford wheels will cost me $4400 + Tax for wheels only, no values, no tires... just four rims in boxes (made of platinum evidently!) This is why many people only go to Ford when there is no other choice!

The wheels I'm looking for must match the wheels of the Mustang below:




At 3AM I found the next two Wheels below in Sliver & Charcoal

Question: Which wheel is the best one for a Ingot Grey Mustang? (Shown above) Silver or Charcoal?

Silver - Does not seem to be machined on the star legs.




Charcoal - Seems to be machined on the star legs



This is the original wheel I want that I won't pay Ford $4400 for:
