I really like those. The OEM GT wheels are atrocious. Not sure how Ford screwed those up so badly.
The OEM GT “Flower Petal” wheel was designed for aerodynamics. Wheels that don’t catch a lot of air are generally not all that attractive. ?‍♂?

Somebody posted a pic of the petal wheels but powder coated. Looked MUCH better IMO. I think it's the glossy black finish combined with the shiny polished metal around the petal openings that I don't like.

Kaylee's (LezzyT) GT "flower petal" wheels in black. I think they look better like this but then it does depend on the body color. Black wheels work really well with Grabber Blue but on a lighter color, probably not as much.

Black wheels on Grabber Blue. I don’t think I have seen that before. ????

The only worse than the GT wheels are the Rally wheels...or maybe it is a tie...lol
Agreed! The Rally rims are the worst with the GT coming in second. I really like my 2023 Premium rims though!

Who makes the light tint? I've put off doing mine because I didn't want to buy a roll of smoked vinyl.

i didn't mind the look of my 21 premium rims and the 25s look nice too.

they're just too narrow for good traction/handling... and to me, they look terrible from behind. it's like a muscle guy that always skips leg day :).

the GT's 20x8 is a minimum, but 8.5 and 9 width wheels look so much better. but i get the range issue with wider rims. the narrow rims are fun to swing the rear end around in RWD though :)

My son who has been in the Navy for 9 years doesn't miss leg day :) He does drive a 2023 Ram Rebel that gets 15 mpg, I haven't converted him to EV yet!

I do recommend going with 9 inch width, the tires are more flush with the fenders

Finally had a chance to install the rims today.
Variant Xenon satin black. Pictures don't give these rims justice on just how good it really looks in person and if it was cleaner ?
20x9
OEM tires 245/45
Pardon the dirty car and rims. I'm cleaning it this weekend
I still need to install the spoiler this weekend as well
I haven't decided if I'm going to install the Eibachs and the chin spoiler that are sitting in my garage because it's Wifey's car.

Al, have a question about the side markers. Did you replace both front and back? Also, did they just pop out w/some finagling, or did you have to go into the wheel wells and remove some covers?

Thanks!
