The stripes and wheels give the car a lift. Are those wheels a factory option? I am surprised I haven’t seen them before, that I recall.

I guess the wheels may not be an option here in Australia as well.
Stripes and wheels were both ordered from the factory.

They are the 19in alloys with P Zero Nero All Season Tires. I like the vintage look but in a modern size. I originally thought they were an unpainted version of the Bullitt wheels but they are not.

I looked on the ford.com.au site and you have nowhere near the options that we do. I suspect that is for a variety of reasons, but no, you can't get those wheels from the factory.

Thanks swooshdave. I don’t know why we have so few options, but at least there are more than we had for the 2015-7 models. It is surprising considering Australia has one of only three design centres in the Ford world that design vehicles from the ground up. I guess there are economic reasons for the small option list, such as the need to stock spares for a relatively small market.

I can see now how your wheels differ from the Bullitt ones, interesting.

There are multiple reasons to limit the options for export vehicles. Another reason is your country may have restrictions such as each part or option needs to be tested or approved. But limiting the supply chain may be the primary one.

Just finished installing BMR 765 springs (only driven a few miles, details coming soon) and did a little detailing.
Did it lower the car at all?

With the angle it's hard to tell. Are your windows tinted? If so, what level?

Your car looks great!

A dark color wasn’t my first choice but when I saw this one it just felt right. Plan on some MRR GT40 rep wheels this spring in bright silver. Loving this thing every day

hi all, i'm a loooong time lurker (2+ years) reading about the S550 before buying my 1st (t-boned and totaled 6 weeks after purchase) and 2nd Mustangs. this is my first post of my '19, 6-speed manual, Kona Blue GT PP, 401A. it's stock height with aftermarket color matched spoiler (Foose) and aftermarket wheels are TSW Geneva. i have a staggered setup with front 20 x 9.5 (+35) on Michelin Pilot Sport 275/35/20 and rears on 20 x 11 (+50) also on Michelin Pilot Sport 295/35/20. 6500 miles later, i'm still as thrilled driving this car (or more so hearing the sound of the engine) as the day i purchased it. :)
