I waited 8 months for my GT350 and was very tired of looking a black wheels after having them on two GT converts for the last 12 years and 371,000 miles. I had a lot of time to search, and found little in the way of wheels that would clear the huge front disks and also had the proper front and rear offsets. But, I did find two options to get bright wheels on the car. First, I bought a set of Carroll Shelby Wheel Co. CS-21 wheels, which are forged and specifically only for the GT350. https://carrollshelbywheels.com/ They have 'SHELBY" milled into the rim and 'GT350' diametrically across. The center cap has 'SHELBY' milled on it. They are available in bright brushed aluminum clear anodized and in a smoke tinted anodized. The CS-21 wheels can be bought from online dealers or from tire shops. Then, with the CS-21s on the car I sent the black OEM wheels to www.kwicksilverusa.com. and they stripped the paint and applied PVD chrome. Cost to strip and coat was $185/wheel, and UPS shipping from Twin Cities to Michigan was about $130 each way for the set. Overall, I am quite happy with both sets of wheels, and haven't yet decided which I prefer. But, I just got the PVD chrome wheels installed last Thursday afternoon and Friday morning the Voodoo sucked one of the No. 7 intake valves. So, it's gone to the hospital for a heart transplant. Hope these wheel options are helpful for others who are tired of black wheels.

Sorry to here about the valve issue. Hope you get back up and driving soon. Both sets of wheels look great. I just ordered a set of the CS21 wheels.

The chrome looks better than I thought. Good for you for doing that. Some colors just work with chrome or lighter wheels

I like the chrome much better than I thought and I'm thinking it might look pretty good on Performance Blue.

Bot are a nice changeup. How many miles do you have on your R? I have a 2020 HE GT350 with a little less than 400 miles and I'm holding my breath given the recent posts about engine failures due to bad valves.

I really like the factory "Spock Vulcan salute" wheels in chrome. Wonder how they would look in dark bronze...:question:

I didn't think I would like chrome but those look amazing. Thanks for posting. I like the shelby wheels too but I vote chrome. Good luck with the car... keep us posted on how Ford handles the process.

So is this a thinly veiled attempt to sell your wheels ?
