Hello all,
A friend of mine mentioned that the Carbon Fiber wheels for the new FGT are no longer being made or available. Mine are in great shape but what if you needed a replacement?
Thoughts?

Find four replacements now while they're......cheap?

Well production is over, no need to make them any longer. Carbon Revolution appears to be alive and well (they also made GT350 and 500 wheels). No clue if Ford has any (inventory or warranty).

It is my understanding that manufacturers are required to supply parts for a minimum of 10 years. Anyone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Update:
After thinking about my previous statement, I decided to do a little research. This article sums up what I have found.

CF wheels are very durable. I tracked my GT350R alot before and after the motor failed and never had an issue with the CF wheels.

I've seen some amazing repairs on CF wheels. No one can tell they were repaired. Unless the CF wheels are stolen you should be ok without a spare set.

Carbon Fiber wheels are available. All parts have to be available for final production vehicles still in the warranty phase.
