Like most new things automotive, it's taking more time than I thought to get the information on the wheels that Ford should have made available for the GT. Hopefully, specs, prices and renderings will be available and posted soon. :cheers

2 companies have very recently provided renderings which I am not allowed to share. One looks identical to the original Halibrands and the other is a more modern looking retro version of the Halibrand. My hands are tied until the pricing and other details are provided, which should be this month. We may very well end up with 2 choices. :cheers

Fantastic news. Can u tell us if these will be forged or cast? Also are these going to be modular (i.e. 3 pieces) or 1 piece?

Thanks again for getting involved and for working at this project!

The Halibrand look-alikes will be forged magnesium like the originals, but with the benefit of 40 years of technology.
There are no details on the others except they will be modular. Probably aluminum, maybe cast, maybe forged or maybe both. Obviously I don't know yet. When I know, you will know. :cheers

Sorry, no update yet. The slowly turning wheels in corporate America test our patience. IMO the wait will be worthwhile. :cheers
