[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16233797, member: 83412"] Shelving the CF wheels and tracking on a less expensive wheel is precisely what hordes of GT350R owners have done. I expect the GT500 to be no different for those that actually track them aside from those where money is no object. The CF wheels are robust yet still fragile. And prohibitively expensive to replace. They are expensive for a multitude of reasons. I get it, Ford jumped on the wagon very early and showed it can be done. But for that kind of money I'd have preferred upgrades elsewhere or a simple cost savings across the board. They may be great in theory or for a Billy Johnson hero lap but for everybody else they don't compute. And speaking of expensive, now I see why Ford didn't use Multimatic's DSSV dampers and stuck with Magneride. Yes, they are stiff but holy cow the price of the car would have been even more ridiculous. Looks like Ford realized they'd be pushing price a bit too far and decided against them. [/QUOTE]
