TGT500 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I was told that the rims on the Canadian GT500 were the same ones that were on the 2009 GT500. Where as the American GT500 got the much better looking NEW rims. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true I got a dealer BRCH and the rims are the same on both U.S car and Canadian car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGT500 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Not true I got a dealer BRCH and the rims are the same on both U.S car and Canadian car. Hmmm, interesting. A dealer emailed me the order guide for the 2010 GT500 and I was surprised to see the 2009 rims in it. So when I asked he said he would check and when he got back to me he said the guide was correct. Only the GT500s sold in the USA would get the new rims. Thanks for the info!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting..If you look at the exterior features and exterior changes you'll see new 19'' wheels on coupe so thats a diff size than the 09....but when you look at the conv it says 18'' wheels so you may be on to something...This order form is from the Ford Motor Company of Canada.

I know for a fact that you can order the 18" and 19" 2010 GT500 rims if you do indeed get the 2009 rims. My question for someone in the know: WHY???? You pay all this money for the car you see in all the magazines and online, only once you get it, the rims are different. I know I'd be upset.

TGT500 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 So would I. It's offical, just got an email back from the Dealer I've been talking to and the 2009 style rim is the rim that comes on the Canadian GT500. I really don't understand the reasoning behind it but I HOPE buyers are aware they won't be getting the rims that they seen in the pictures and brochure.

No, the coupe still gets 19" rubber and the vert gets the 18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
