You Can Option Your Ford GT With Posh Carbonfibre Wheels

If you know anything about the new Ford GT, you’ll know it has a bit of a carbonfibre theme going on. The chassis is a carbonfibre monocoque after all, and those heavily-sculpted body panels are made of the stuff too. Want more carbonfibre than that? Well - assuming you’re one of the lucky 500 to make it through the application process - Ford has just the thing for you.

It’s a new set of carbonfibre wheels, available with either a matte or gloss finish. Like the standard forged aluminium rims the GT sits on they’re each 20 inches in diameter, and save about 1kg of unsprung weight for each corner, giving a 25 per cent inertia reduction. They’re a lot stiffer, too.

Whether or not you’ll notice the difference to suspension performance and ride quality Ford says we should expect, we’re not sure. But we should think a lot of GT buyers will spec them for the looks alone…
