They are exactly the same as OEM. Same part numbers on them, made in USA, and everything.
I can appreciate wanting to re-use anything you have. I always try to do same. Tires eventually wear out, while the rims could serve the life of the car. Consider selling the tires you have and buying a new set of rims and tires which are better tailored to the car.
So you can get a set of four for the price of one through Ford? I'm on mobile right now but I'll try to find where I read that they were different. If indeed they're the same exact - that's wild!
I can vouch for @Charlemagne that the set from Ford Performance bought through the on line Ford vendor (Benny) here on this site is exactly the same as “OEM”. They come boxed real well, have TPMS sensors and FP center caps. I’ve had a set for over a year now as a back up for the track. Upon receiving, I verified the part number cast into each wheel. They’re the same. Why Ford can ask like $800 a wheel when ordered separately is beyond my pay grade. The pic (bottom) with black lugs with FP caps are the ones from FP. The pic (top) with chrome lugs with pony caps are when i bought the car.
What series Falken tire are you running?I can vouch for @Charlemagne that the set from Ford Performance bought through the on line Ford vendor (Benny) here on this site is exactly the same as “OEM”.

The issue I have with these is the offsets are weak and tucked in. LMR has 19 x 10 s 35 offset and you can put that wheel in a four corners AND you can get away with the stock tires you already have. I may do that. Then the next tire set you can go with the same size all the way around.So I have a HP Mach 1 on the way (deal being finalized atm) and I'll need to drive her in colder temps so was wheel searching and found these. These are exactly the same as the ones that come on the base Mach 1 cars, except in a OEM Gloss Black Finish. Also these were the PP2 wheel option. 19x9.5 fronts that will be paired with 25540r19 Michelin PS AS4 and 19x10 rears with 27540r19 Michelin PS AS4. Let me know if anyone has paired these with their Mach 1 yet.
The RT660 in stock HP sizes. They perform well at the track if the weather is lousy. Of course in the dry, the cup 2’s are lots better. I swap out to the Falken between track dates for street/ road drives.
my 2021 non HP has those wide 5 spoke and it was the base wheel. I ordered it so I m certain.I could always be confused but I think the base wheels on the Mach 1 are the ones on my new M1 as shown below. Those look like the ones that are around a $500 option.
Thank you, I was curious how the compared to the cup2.
You are both correct. I also don't know what group of people spread that info that they are not the same. The reason for the price difference is because ford performance is considered aftermarket. So the price is much different. Buying from ford motor company directly will always be higher. Same with any other manufacturer.I can vouch for @Charlemagne that the set from Ford Performance bought through the on line Ford vendor (Benny) here on this site is exactly the same as “OEM”.

Thanks, yeah I was certain of it too but just thought I’d let it go.
