Nickel Luster Wheel (Code 647) for GT w/ PP - Availability?

Anybody know the weight of these wheels yet? I'd only consider them if they offered a substantial weight savings over the stock PP1 boat anchors.

"[Ford says] ...excited to offer a forged aluminum wheel for the Performance Pack Mustangs. These wheels will save a significant amount of weight over the standard package and are, in fact, less than nine ounces heavier than the GT350R carbon wheels at a fraction of the price." Source - what keith58 told his wife to justify an extra 800 bucks on an already 53,000 toy. May not be completely verifiable.

I'll say this - it reflects poorly on Ford that there are mustangs for sale around the country with the "luster nickel" wheels and yet Ford can't even get their build website updated to show the damn wheels....

I just ordered lightening blue but that white one is gorgeous! My previous Mustang was ruby red so had to go blue. Kona looks great with the wheels but it seems really dark and night and kind of purple in the sun. Still second guessing and not in cotus yet so there is time.

Yea, that's the thing. I like Kona, but when the sun is not very bright it looks so dark and essentially purple. Not a fan of the purple tint, but love the underlying blue. Not sure if I could go with Kona.... Same issue with royal crimson. Looks almost too dark but when the sun is bright the underlying red pops and it's cool.

Yes

I am trying to build this

My VIN updated today in COTUS - it now shows my build correctly with the 647 wheels. Cool, 57 days to go.

I have never seen these before.

38 days here! Nice to see progress

yeah, even the revised Ford Mustang page " We all drive. Some of us roar." has an image of a blue GT with the wheels but the build page still is not updated to show them as an option.

They're probably not going to bother updating the 2018 build page at this point since it's such a short MY and about to close-out. I think they're saving the update/s for the 2019 build page... which is probably right around the corner. :shrug:
