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
 
Keep us posted! If anyone can shephard this project you can.

Any update?
 
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
 
Hilabrand's with a set of Hoosiers! What a great look! Looks like I'm going to need to yet another set of tires & wheels:frown:smash
 
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
 
I will most likely be in for a set... still trying to find something for my heritage that looks better than what I have :cheers
 
Time for a bump. Any update?
 
Sorry, no update yet. The slowly turning wheels in corporate America test our patience. IMO the wait will be worthwhile. :cheers
