Question: Factory Chrome MM Rims

[Speed]

Does anyone know if Ford is now offering the MM rims in chrome? I was searching JC whitney and came across the following ( http://96.254.18.12/jcw/selection.php?HOSTRETURN=http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/shoppingcart.jcw?dcs_action=ad ditemtocart&HEADER=http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/headerview.jcw&FOOTER=http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/footerview.jcw&_SUPPLIERSKU=ALY03493U&_YEAR=2003&_MAKE=MERCURY&_MODEL=MARAUDER)

I gave them a call and was told they where factory rims and came from the factory. Thanks.

I have never seen them .
Ask the guy from Whitney to read the Ford part number off the back side.
I'm sure that will shed more light.

With that plain center cap they look like the cast PRC wheels that were on eBay a while back.

It's not a true factory wheel, just a remake of it.

Just as the V6 Mustang had the California package that came with (Marauder styled wheels).

Neither FoMoCo or Ford Racing Performance Parts ever offered chromed Marauder rims. ONLY versions available were polished or painted ( full-size spare ).

Those rims are after-market and cast ( NOT forged ). Also available from Wheels and Caps (http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/w_selection.asp?syn=&_SUPPLIERSKU=ALY03493U&WandCRETURN=&_YEAR=2003&_MAKE=MERCURY&_MODEL=MARAUDER) ««« -click-

*Notice that the JC Whitney part # is the same as the Wheels and Caps - ALY03493U -AND- is denoted as an "OEM Replacement". Also notice that they're less $$$$$ from WaC.

Marauder wheels were never offered from Ford in chrome.

I'd be very surprised to find out that these wheels are actual Ford parts.

All wheels come from a factory, somewhere :P

j/k the guys are right, if you want a FoMoCo wheel you have to get it from your dealership or FRPP. Do a google product search for "M-1007-M188P"... get a set of four wheels from Jegs for only $1,833.95 (http://www.jegs.com/i/Ford%20Racing/397/M-1007-M188P/10002/-1?CT=999) plus shipping.

The real lesson here is, shopping at JCW only results in disappointment! :)
