PP1 Nickle Finish Wheels- are they worth it?

[abie915]

In Canada these are a $1500 Option, apparently there is no weight saving. Is this just a fasion statement?

I kind of like the look but it bugs me there may be no performance advantage.

Thoughts?

I just weighed a set of these vs the black wheels, they are 0.4 lb lighter in the front and 1 lb lighter in the back: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/th...ainted-forged-aluminum-wheels-weights.124423/

I think I would just use the $1,500 to buy a set of these if you want the PP1 specs. You could use the black ones for winter tires.

Does anyone know the part # for these wheels? Or maybe even have a set for sale...

Here is a photo of the PP1 nickel finish wheels.

When did these replace the black mesh PP(1) wheels? Or did this only happen outside the US?

Ah, I confused because they offered a nickle version of the standard PP mesh wheels in like 2016. As a no cost option as I recall.

Paying another $750 or $1500 for the same size wheels seems like it's over priced unless you really don't like the standard wheels, or really like the optional ones. My bet is the optional ones are still super heavy, and so have no performance advantage.

Part of the reason I was asking is OE Wheels offer lighter, 19x10 PP style wheels in black or silver finishes for less money (~$600 per set). If you like the PP mesh styling. So wider, lighter, cheaper, the trifecta of wheel buying. Plus you have the standard wheels to sell, or use for your winter set.
