I wonder what the price is going to be on them.

even if ford doesn't, someone will probably make replicas if you just want the look but not the lightness of cf

For real carbon fiber wheels? A lot, a whole lot.

Some one is going to make them. what happens when you curb rash your wheels (gasp) and you need new ones? or hit a pot hole and put a flat spot in them. replicas don't always cut it.
also, if they are CF, how resistant is that stuff to scratches and cracking? I know its super strong, but if you scratch the carbon(not a mild scratch but something deep) wouldn't that ruin the structural integrity of it?

I used to have carbon Mtn bike handle bars and I scratched them pretty bad, and the next day, they snapped right along the scratch...

Considering the insane amount Ford charges for the stock 20's I'd say in the 1200-1500 range. Per wheel. :headbonk:

EDIT: Yjack beat me to it. Over $10,000 per set.

16 g's? No thanks!

You realize they're carbon fiber, right

$3000 each. And that is actually cheap. BST carbon motorcycle wheels are near $3000 each and they have been out for 10 years.

 

[Chameleon]

Yes I do.

 

[Todd15Fastback]

I bet they weigh ~17lbs each or a tad more.

And, Ford may want you to provide a VIN before they sell a wheel to you:
FORD: "You know we don't want our GT350R customers getting upset because some guy put carbon fiber wheels on his V6"
