Do you want Black Rims with your Performance Package?

[Spartan]

So looks like Ford is forcing 19" High Gloss Black Rims on us with the Performance Package (67E or 67G).

Taking a poll to see what people want...whether it's black, the premium painted aluminum or an option to choose (and not be charged extra if you don't want the black rims).

You have the option to vote for more then 1 (if you want to pick 1 or 2 (not both) and then 3 also.

Not totally on board with your poll options. The Premium Paint Aluminum are not equivalent to the PP wheels. They are only 8.5" wide. The PP wheels are staggered 9" and 9.5". I would not want the former on my PP equipped GT even if it was an option.

I'm fine with the design of the PP wheels, I simply want the option to choose a color other than black! Silver or gunmetal would be fine.

I want the 20" Mach wheels. :frusty:

The staggered are only on the GT PP. the PP pack on the EB has same rims all the way around.

How do you change the poll and Ill just change option 2 to Silver/Gunmetal 19"

I want another option, but wouldn't be opposed to paying for it -IF- the option would really cost them more. I want the 20's with a PP, even it loses a smidgeon of performance due to wheel weight, etc. It's just whether or not the 20's actually cost more than the 19's do. I'm betting that it's pretty much a wash though.

Yeah, I realize that. But even the EB PP wheels are larger (9") than the "Premium Paint" ones.

Basically my point was that your "No" option was a bit too restrictive. Like I said, the existing PP wheels would be fine with me if there was simply a choice of finish.

I like the PP wheel design, but I agree they need to have another finish as a choice.

The first time I saw pictures of the black wheels I really didn't care for them. Yet as time went on and I looked at more and more pictures they really grew on me.

I understand that people want choices, especially when it comes to something that costs as much as a new car does, but people have to remember that more choices mean a higher cost.

I also can understand people not liking the black wheels. It certainly is a fad in place right now. What I can't understand is people wanting to swap to larger wheels on the performance pack. Performance pack. I feel this is just as strange as wanting a performance pack on a convertible. For the highest performance you want the smallest wheel you can fit over the brakes. Plus the larger the wheel the smaller the sidewall and more expensive of a tire you're going to run into.

Everyone has their likes and dislikes but I think we have to consider what actually makes sense for Ford to do. We all want the Mustang to last another 50 years right?

If you ask me, forcing black wheels as the only option for the PP doesn't make sense for Ford or their customers. Black wheels are clearly a love 'em or hate 'em proposition for most people. If they weren't going to offer more than one choice of finish, then something more neutral (e.g. silver or even the same color as the current Track Pack wheels) would have been a better marketing move, IMO.

This is a loaded question as others have said. Having the option would always be the best option. However I do like the black rims so I voted for Yes PP Wheels.

 

[Amaury]

If no option to live with the PP wheels, I would love to have them charcoalgrey. I really don't like the black wheels on the DIB...

 

[JoeDogInKC]

If nothing changes on this before release, I could see myself either re-painting or flat out scuffing the paint off of them. I do like the PP design (GT500 look), but the black (gloss or even matte/flat) have to go, at least on the darker exterior colors. They don't look terrible on the lighter colors, but anything from Ruby Red to darker and they just ruin the car.

While I like the black wheel Ford should give buyers an option.

 

[TampaBear67]

I want a Triple Yellow or Ingot Silver Premium Trim, Eco-Boost Fastback with the Performance Package, because I want the Extra Guages, but I Do Not want Black Wheels, and I Really want the 50th Anniversary Pkg for the Seats and Wheels. I'll swap out the Grills and Faux Gas Cap myself.

 

[ShelbyGT350]

I want the Boss 302 LS Wheels (Black with machined faces, 19x9 front, 19x10 rear)
