Not true. Look at the shape of the wheels, not the color. The configurator is shown with the shadow silver painted wheels. It's just that the configurator image is showing a much darker gray color than the true wheel.Here is the rim on the car in the build and price.
Here is the shadow silver
the build and price tool sucks
Same, dont see the reason to pay more for something that isn't what I ultimately want.
And this is why trying to order a car off of a black & white order sheet with a supremely broken online configurator and no brochures is a nightmare. Do better Ford.
They look like they belong on a base Ecoboost. The Nite Pony wheels look so much better!So my 2024 GT Premium has been built already - but now I’m regretting my choice because those wheels are terrible. Unfortunately, I didn’t opt for the other wheel option but I didn’t think the standard wheels were this bad lol. Wonder if anyone else feels the same way.
The POS configurator doesn't even change the wheel design, you can select the bronze ones or black ones or chrome ones and it'll still just display those wheels. But people expect that it's actually displaying the correct wheels (design or color), just because they're the default ones? You can press the more info buttons and see in the enlarged picture that those default wheels are no where near as dark as what is shown on the configurator. I swear people don't have the common sense and can't seem to spend even the smallest amount of time researching something when spending 50k+ on a car. Yet they'll complain about the automaker because their crappy little rendering didn't look like the real thingYes it is. I'm not the OP though. There is only 1 wheel with that shape on the configurator. The configurator loads with the standard equipment and these are the standard GT premium "shadow silver" wheels. If you look at all the wheels offered and look at how they are shaped it is easy to tell that it's the only match on the configurator and for cars spotted in the wild. Like I said, they are much darker on the configurator vs real life. Also, the wheels you are talking about on the silver car are the ebony black painted aluminum wheel you can also see in the configurator right about the standard GT premium wheels.
The wheels don't look bad themselves. If it's just the color, getting them powder coated could be a simple and relatively cheap option!So my 2024 GT Premium has been built already - but now I’m regretting my choice because those wheels are terrible.

I ordered the day banks opened. There weren't any real photos to go off of for the standard GT premium wheels so we largely had to go by the description "shadow silver". Shadows are typically a little dark. We never really got full confirmation until the drone video dropped a week or two ago showing several production wheels with that finish at the plant at which point anyone who ordered early to get the car during the summer already had a VIN. None of the press cars had the standard GT premium wheels at any media event. I know because I have followed every single media event for photos and videos since the car debuted. Spy shots could have been pre-production and couldn't be trusted. I did as much research as anyone could have really. The "more info button" you are talking about is actually called the details button as shown below and yes I clicked on it and enlarged the photos in a separate program to see they looked slightly brighter but it had to be one or other and I fell back on Ford's "shadow silver" description to choose between those two photos. If you are going to claim someone doesn't have "common sense" you might want to "spend the smallest amount of time" calling things what they actually are.
I don't think they are THAT bad but they are a bit disappointing on a 60k car.
