I ordered a '21 GT500 with the carbon fiber handling package at msrp day. My dealer informed me the CF wheels my not be available . Does anybody have any info on this subject?

You sure they know what they are taking about?
Maybe they ordered you a base instead.
Dealer has one allocation left. Question is whether a cfHp is a 'golden ticket' like the cfTp?But as @13COBRA has said before in other threads, any dealer can order any car as many times as they want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have an allocation for said car(s)
Jez, why even bother to list an option with only 200 examples. I figured with absence of the 350 there would be more carbon rims to go aroundThe CFHP is actually supposed to have lower production #'s then the CFTP, I think I remember seeing like 200 CFHP cars being produced. The dealer should know if they have an allocation for one, i wouldn't be surprised if they don't have an allocation and are just assuming you'll take a base when the order for the CFHP doesn't go through
^^This guy knows.ALL CFHP AND CFTP cars come with carbon wheels, period.

Point is, capacity has been somewhat of a limiting factor. CR has made considerable investment in order to raise the number of CF wheels (whether 19" or 20", doesn't matter) and with no more GT350R, CR can fill that void with increased production of wheels earmarked for the GT500.You have to remember the 350R's didn't have 20" CF rims.
Yeah my dealer hada cftp allocation but not the cfhp
No, we built the car and I signed the their order form with the 10k cfhp option. The owner came out and explained the whole 'golden ticket' thing. I'm thinking he's confusing it with the cftp instead, but I didn't want to sound like dick and contradict him. I know someone that works for Lincoln and has contacts within Ford, he'll find out what the real deal is.

Not sure that is going to happen with this chip bullshit. Some are now saying GT500 production may end up being half (or less) than what it was in 2020.The small number of these projected to be built further supports this. And, they are increasing CFTP for 2021.
