Need advice about wheels for 2006 V6

[genxorcist]

Hi guys-

I have a 2006 V6 (Pony Package) and I'm replacing the wheels. Ford wants too much so I'm looking at aftermarket. Anyone buy these: http://www.americanmuscle.com/bl20mubuwh1.html ? How's the quality? Do they balance well?

In addition, I want to take the Mustang wheel caps off my current Ford wheels and put them on the aftermarkets. Anybody know if they'll fit? I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks all!

If those are the wheels you have, I like them.
Try some take-off places. Genuine Ford for much less.
Also, your Ford parts guy can sell you parts at just above wholesale. Mine does. They appreciate how many cars I have purchased.
The great thing about buying from Ford is no shipping charges.
I, for example, can get the California front fascia, with all grilles, etc. included, for about $350 from my Ford dealer and no shipping. There is a guy on ebay who wants $500 plus $150 shipping.
Ask if your dealer will cut you a price.
But, again, I like the wheels in the photo.

I just bought these for my 08 to replace the polished Bullitts. They were $625 shipped. I like using Ford Racing wheels. http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=605

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

When I tried to go through Ford, the wheels themselves cost almost twice as much as the aftermarket. When I saw that, I didn't even ask about shipping. I'll see if my dealer will cut me a deal, but I'm not optimistic...

And I must say, I REALLY like those wheels JOEGTS just bought. They look great, the price is right and they have the Pony caps. Have you installed them yet? How are you liking them?

There are several take-off websites.

My Ford dealer has NEVER charged me for shipping.
