If the Brembo Brake kit is selected, can an alternate 19" wheel be ordered? The "build your own" app on ford site doesn't allow for it. It's nice how they don't show a price just for the "Brembo wheels". While I'm on the subject, can the brembo wheels be ordered w/o the brake kit?

Three options (1) Get the better brakes and just get the brembos w/the wheels, (2)you can find a similar replica through a different site cheaper than what ford will give you, or (3) when you purchase the car talk to the dealer I'm sure they can get them

I'm hoping the dealer can get them 'cuz I really like the 19" luster alum wheels vs the brembo wheels, but want the brake upgrade.

Oh, I misread your email.....I thought you wanted the wheels and not the breaks...Hell i think the wheels on the brembos are the nicest one's but that's my opinion everyone has different taste. I'm sure you would be able to find someone to swap you if you're not satisified with them. Then comes the quesion will the rotors fit on the stock ones, which they probably will.

Yeah, the brembo rims are wicked nice, I just prefer the 5 spoke look and the 19" luster wheels are a bit more flashy than the stock 18"alum. rims. I see so many with the brembo rims it seems like the dealer would make the switch just to have a spare set on hand

Thanks for the replies!

Now if only they bring back lava red by spring I'll be all set

The problem is the 19 luster wheel will not clear the brembo brakes. That's why you can't select other wheel when you pick the brembo pkg.

It is not the wheel diameter that makes wheels not clear the brembo brakes. The spokes might hit the caliper. I do not know about those wheels in particular, but that would be the issue if they don't fit.

Right, I get it, that's why I ask. I was thinking someone might have thought ahead so that more that one wheel combo could be offered with the brembo kit.
