I pretty much had to put everything back together myself after my car was in for oil cooler line recall. Ford dealer mechanics are always over worked and under trained. I wouldn’t be surprised if few clamps are loose or missing. They literally didn’t even bother putting back screws for my...
Id do the same, if i was dealer. Understand, these specialized sports cars w manual tranny do not sell fast. It’ll probably sit at the lot for awhile, which translates to $$ lost on dealership. Plus making sales, advertising all cost $$. They have to pay sales floor as well. You want quick $$...
If you plan on show car status with gt350 wheels, you’ll have to swap out oem pads w something thats more geared towards daily street w less dust.
Otherwise just be like me, and stop caring about wheel cleaning. High perf pads make crazy dust.. just the way it is. Oem pads won’t fade on you...
I have same thing on mine. Trust me, don’t have your dealer fix that. I’ve heard horror stories of them doing more harm than good. If you really want to fix it, just take it to reputable bodyshop that you can trust. Even if that means you have to pay for it.
I personally just leave it alone. Hey...
C8 no doubt will be more striking to look at, and provide higher lvl of performance.
However, c8 w “must have” options will be well into $75-80k. And depreciation will always hit very hard due to massive production numbers. Only vet that carries value retention is zr1 or zora model.

There is difference between being bespoke, and being “rare”. Gt500 isn’t a bespoke car. Its chassis and overall interior structure is based on a budget platform (i.e base mustang). Reason why these cars are so heavy and have hard time putting power down to the ground. Even my gt350 have hard...
I would stay away from that installer. Obviously they dont have any experience w many low profile / high perf tires. Those size should fit fine. Ideal width for 295 is 10.5”, but both 10” and 11” will work.
Its one thing to see them at certain price level. But the question is, are there that many rich knuckle heads out there to pay that money for oem wheels? I doubt these are selling like hot cakes at these prices
There are very few “car people” at dealershits.. most car sales industry is full of toxic borderline scam artists.
I learned while ago, its waste of time trying to argue/educate ignorant dealer. Just ignore them and move onto someone bit more informed
