They didn’t really have a ballpark other than “This year for sure”. It doesn’t help that I wanted it configured a certain way.

Also annoyed I couldn’t add a second set of wheels and tires, but I can get some other ones elsewhere I suppose.

The RS is so damn fast. I know everyone already knows this, but I didn’t realize this until I saw one at my local autocross. He won PAX by a mile. The go kart driver (cheater) was the only reason he didnt get the FTD.

Rough. That is odd that they wouldn’t let you add wheels/tires. Weird strategy.

Apparently the ordering system will only let you add a 2nd set if it’s the snow tire one with the initial order. Other than that I could buy 4 wheels individually from the parts department which my sales rep told me was, “So insanely expensive that he would never recommend it to anyone”.

After that he apologized and said the best bet was to find something I liked at TireRack. It’s annoying because I really do like the option wheels. I just wanted a set with the track tires and a set with the street tires. Ford Performance only sells the non-option wheels too.

What I’ll probably do is keep the factory wheels for the street and get a lightweight set with a set of R-compounds for the track and auto-x.
