Look ok on white carNope, those are the standard wheels as seen in the bottom picture.
I just went to look at a GT Premium yesterday. The wheels weren't nearly as bad as I was expecting.
Hi from Australia
I had a â10 with Pony. Miss those wheels. Wish the â24 had something like that. Havenât seen the standard GT wheel in person yet, but doesnât seem âgoodâ in pics. I saw a Ecoboost with 20â upgraded wheels, at Ford Carlisle, those looked ok.Reminds me of the 2011 pony package, which I liked a lot. Was just before every new performance wheel being offered as black or gun metal for some reasons that I donât truly get.
The base premium are decent, and NPP wheels are actually nice IMO
I actually saw this car back in April, and thought they were ugly ass rims they had left from early S550 releases (arenât these the same design as the 50th anniversary, or at least very similar).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.
Theyâre not the Performance Package wheels though, are they ?? Theyâre just the standard wheels for the Premium trim I believeâŠFound this closeup picture. I agree that they are unfit of a performance package.
And now I get why they are called «shadow-silver». Every narrow arch has more shade than the other larger ones next to it.
Bad name, bad design, bad package.
Thing is youâre actually charged for these âupgradedâ nice rims.
I honestly do not know. But because the blue S650 in the first post and then the white one had quad exhausts, I assumed that it applied to PP.Theyâre not the Performance Package wheels though, are they ?? Theyâre just the standard wheels for the Premium trim I believeâŠ
Nope, quad exhaust simply means Active Valve Exhaust, can come with any trim level. The one on the right is an Ecoboost (horse on deck lid) with Night Pony Package (19â black rims)
I ordered on 3/27/23. There was another photo floating around at the time with these same wheels on it but one of the main theories at the time was that there was a good chance they were just pre-production wheels for testing purposes being they were so bright for a wheel called shadow silver. We didn't know anything for certain at the time.I actually saw this car back in April, and thought they were ugly ass rims they had left from early S550 releases (arenât these the same design as the 50th anniversary, or at least very similar).
So they were out there for a while
For sure !
Somehow I still get complements on the factory wheels sometimes lol They have definitely grown on me some but there are also definitely some slightly darker aftermarket wheels I like better. I like these a lot more but I've got until Spring to figure it out for sure.For sure !
And honestly, I never thought these were gonna be the stock rims for the premium.
I sincerely thought, as it was the end of winter (Iâm in QuĂ©bec), that they had used these for winter tires to not trash good rims
