Is this old news...?
New mustang at my dealership today and it has MM wheels on it...not with our center cap of course...;)
Are they the same size as ours...?
Thanks, Architect

Yes we had heard and I have seen one before, looks pretty good in my opinion. But they were using them as an option on v6 stangs, :( They should be the same as ours.

Here's the good part - readily available in mass quantities if we damage one.

only forged wheel available on any mustang stock right now, and its only available with the v-6 performance package, go figure. the center cap hole size is apparently different than ours, I havent tried though...

of course if you were looking for winter wheels, or ones to paint black, there you go!

Hopefully someone can confirm the centercap hole size. It would be good if it was the same size as ours.

My dad just bought a top of the line V6 Mustang.

He showed it to me and I saw the wheels. I was like WTF!?

THE SIZE OF THE HOLE IS THE SAME, the lip is a little more pronounced.

So our ctr caps wouldn't work correct?

Ford has to get their money worth out of the design. Can't say I blame them. At least they didn't decide to put our wheels on Taurus' or something.

As someone else said, they would make great winter wheels!:D

Yeah this is really super old news but I agree. If they didn't think so already, people are REALLY going to think that we all have old man cars with Mustang wheels on them now.

Even the Ford dealer told me that I put aftermarket wheels on the Marauder, and "Ford never made one of those that came that way"

Some ford stealerships are retarded, they labeled mine "Red Grand Marq" when i had a new key cut.

Cant blame em, the last time they had marauders on the lot was 05 :lol:

:stupid:My dealer has to put GM on mine because they don't have a Marauder option on the pull down menu. As long as they use the right parts I don't care what they put on there.:lol:.

I don't get it. Why would you use the the stang wheels and winter wheels if they are the same?

winters here eat fancy wheels pretty bad. having a winter set would keep the MM appearance but allow you to not care too much about the winter set.
