Carbon Fiber Wheels on Dark Horse Mustang – First Look!

[Deleted member 7136]

According to carbon fiber experts, within 10 years, most vehicles will have carbon fiber wheels., since they are stronger and lighter than today's present wheels.

regular twill weave? Just like gt500.
Interesting. Not the strongest, but good enough I guess and great looking pattern.

I suppose Ford has to make these ugly to differentiate from the halo model when it comes out. Can't have the plebes with their $75K Dark Horses getting the same wheels as the toppity top Mustang model.

That’s one option I won’t check off. Fan blades are hung from my ceiling.

Such inspired design. What a dumpster fire.

I have to pass on those carbon fibre wheels. Too chunky and only on 19 inch wheels. 9 grant that I can spend better for other things and if you present such wheels, the nut screws need to be black. That chrome pops out too much imo.

The new carbon wheels look fine, but I wish they had a closer look to the Torq Thrust-like wheels they’ve done in the past. I’m sure the aftermarket will pick up the slack there

The one thing to remember for track use is the car set up with lighter carbon fiber wheels from the factory will have its Magna ride tuned for them. You won’t get that with an aftermarket set. There is a difference. I’m a track guy and I’m leaning towards them for that factory tuning option.

you forgot the emphatic "faith, ah!"

Was singing to this very song 2 nights ago when it came on XM. There were witnesses. Though they probably don't want to admit to being in the same car with me.

That song has been stuck in my head for about a week now.

It’s exactly the way it was with the GT350. Two different tunes with the magnaride on the GT350 running aluminum wheels vs the GT350R running carbon fiber wheels.
